what I am working on

March 28th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I’m too tired to be clever today, so I’ll just give you the list:

getting the house ready to sell, including landscaping, decluttering, sorting, selling stuff, and doing touch up work, and which also includes researching the local housing market, and which *also* includes researching the three (?) possible places we might end up living once […]

Today is World Down Syndrome Awareness Day! For more information, head to the Down Syndrome International website.
And do you get it? Today is March 21st…. 3/21… Trisomy 21. Ok, ok, I guess you’ve got it.

March 4th, 2008 · No Comments

I am literally pausing in the middle of my all-the-crap-I-have-to-do-before-bed routine to say this:
