We Now Interrupt The Regularly Scheduled Big Dig Muckraking . . .

For those of you who have been craving a good bedtime story, I give you the following masterpiece. I am currently interviewing illustrators.

No, Wait! Don't Stop Reading!!

Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special. It was hard to be away (and not swimming) on that day, but so many of you remembered that I had a wonderful day anyway. The cards, packages, and telephone calls were so thoughtful.

There are some that I was not able to talk to, although I spent hooouuuuurrrsss on the phone. Don't think for a second that I don't love you. We had a small party near Harvard Square, but I was so happy to get your messages when I came home.

I have been really stressed at work--over half of the office went on vacation AT THE SAME TIME, so we remaining grunts were in charge of ALL content AND editing for two weeks (20 pages of newspaper each, thank you very much!). I actually ended up calling in sick one day, which I hated to do, but this tired, sweaty body just plain gave out. I am gathering strength, but I pretty much collapse once I get home. I really hope you understand that my silence and lack of updates is not personal in any way. I'd like nothing better than a good chat--as soon as I have the energy to talk and laugh!

That said, I read your blogs faithfully. They help me relax and giggle after a long day. What did I smile about before the Hutchison, Slothower, and Crawley blogs? More is the point, how did so many adorable children end up in the same family? None of them are my children, so I think I can say that without being considered a braggart. Right? Right?

Speaking of which, CONGRATULATIONS, CRAWLEYS!! I only heard about the big event on the very day, but I was with you in spirit. I am so happy for you and your darling little man.

Thanks for reading my blog which has no pictures. That will change very soon, however. If you want to know why, just ask my mom.

Well, it's back to the grind for me. Thanks again for all that you do and all of your support.
