Hi girls! I did it! I finished mom's memory quilt on Wednesday night. Having been on call last night, I did not manage to get it uploaded until just now (something about having to update webshots - took too long so I didn't have time before going to work yesterday morning). But, it's there now. 4...

I'll Host the Finishers 2006 support group/challenge group. (Wendy asked if there was one and no one seemed to be chomping at the bit to run one, so why not) Okay, this may be a moment of pure insanity but it's not like I have much else going on right now right? I can't get hired to save my...

My story and I'm sticking to it. We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads. So I'm not overweight, I'm just really intelligent and my head couldn't hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
