As I was sitting out on the porch this afternoon with Allie, my new roommate who doesn’t actually move in until Thursday, I was looking at a plant still in the cheap plastic pot that is wilted probably beyond repair as a result of not getting watered while I was gone. It’s really quite a […]
For the panel on Friday night, we read a lot of the submissions we’ve received. The QUIP group really enjoyed them and asked us a few questions such as about John’s travels and what we wanted this book project to be. I also got to talk about our vision for the book and that was

I am off to go spend five days with these wonderful people. I will blog about it when I get back. Until then, enjoy life! 365-09 #106

I walked into tap class tonight and Stacey’s face just lit up when she saw me. I’ve been working really hard on getting ready for the board meeting and I had been looking forward to going to class all day. There is nothing like knowing you are utterly loved. 365-09 #104
