We hit a high of 67 degrees yesterday. (Today it’s going to be 65 and then the temperatures are going to plummet after 3pm.) I met my sister at the park and here are some pics. (Note: If you still need the password, let me know.

Last night I went out with my friends and had Ethiopian food. Becca surprised me with every single gossip mag on newstands this week! One of my L friends was very jealous. Well, when she turns 35 maybe she’ll be so lucky. And believe it or not, she is even funnier in person.
The three of us bloggers bored our non-blogging friends with blogging gossip. I’m sorry about that except that it was fun.
It’s strange how my online world is meshing with my day-to-day world all of a sudden. I like it.
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

Can I just say that your username/password choice for the pix was truly inspired? Despite not having used it in over a week, I was able to remember it. And I don’t think anyone would ever guess what it is. So you get the grand prize for creative username/passwords. Totally.

I have a great weakness for gossip mags.
What are they saying about Brad and Jen and the BREAKUP?
Adorable pics!
I agree about the username and password– very easy to remember.

Oh, and I’ve been meaning to tell you FOREVER thanks for the link to the kitty cat dance, no really, thanks. I’m not being sarcastic at all, it’s not like it’s ALWAYS stuck in my head or anything. I did get to let my niece see it though, now she sings it to my sister constantly. Hahahahaha.

Did *she* tell you I thought I saw you at Sunflower Chinese restaurant? And you’re right, she is funnier in person.
