It's so nice to see children respond positively to a realistically proportioned doll.

we went to the gym today and my youngest son was lifting and was kinda sad that he had to use the little bar (35# versus 45#) until he realized that 40# was 40% of his weight... and then when we added up his weight after we got home and in all his reps he lifted 3690#... his little happy dance just made me so happy :D

I volunteered for Stuff the Bus today, unloading the buses...and so I got in a great physical workout and helped people at the same time :) 

That and both of my kids were really hard workers the entire time we were there...and I was really proud of them!

... I hit my goal.

 

A big part of me never really thought I could raise $2,000 in a month for a silly children's book, with only ONE piece of concept art, but with 64 hours to go I crossed the finish line, and secured a deal with an incredible artist. I'm a little awestruck by the world right now.

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

Technically no more is needed, but anything extra can be used to expand the run to more than the initial 100 copies, help me make a bigger presence! Maybe get some higher-quality paper and covers, too.

My own on-topic...

 

When you get home from the gym, strip off the shirts and it hits the ground like a side of beef because it CANNOT hold any more sweat.  I feel like I accomplished something.

since when do we EVER stay on topic??

My Secret Santee makes me smile today, and thinking about Thrillho sweaty and shirtless....

Wait, chocolate lasagna? Could you send me your address? I must have accidentally deleted the email you sent me inviting me over for dessert tomorrow.
