You can celebrate her birthday by visiting and following her blog! She updates every day and posts fun things to cook, play (either on your tv or on a table :P), and read. So go check it out.
I'll celebrate by posting a picture of ALL OUR PLUSHIES. THERE ARE LOTS.
If you can name what all of these are from, you are smart. Or you just read my wife's blog. |
In writing news, I am steadily writing every single day, though only about 1,500 every day. I'm trying to push myself back up to the usual 2,000 but it has proven oddly difficult; we'll see if I can manage it tonight.

violin girl, remember?”
“Oh, right.” Simon rolled his shoulders, breathing in a sigh. “It was
part of the St. Matthew Passion.”
“Which part?”
“You can’t possibly know all the parts; there’s like seventy or
something.”
“Come on, just tell me.”
Simon sighed, defeated. “Fine. It was the Gebt mir meinen Jesum wieder.”
Aria paused, processing the information. “The Gebt mir meinen Jesum

“That was the plan.”
