Wow! Great job readers.

Color me embarrassed but it doesn't look like I'm going to get my categories done for the month. I picked the categories and for the first time since December of '09 when I had surgery and spent a week in the hospital, I am not going to get 10/10 done. Too many things came up in the past couple of weeks for me to even get close! But I'm so glad so many of you are managing to make it through!

[Katharina]

Congrats Shazzy, Drq and Lauren!
