In Which We Learn...
...that the Universe has an amazing sense of humor - and timing. Before we're really even under way, I need to withdraw from Season 8 of LJ Idol. Hubby got a new job working nights, the Wee Lad started school - you'd think these things would lead to my having more time to write entries, but it's been all I can do to get to the computer the last 4 ( Read more... ) -
