Here it comes again.....

April is in full swing. Swinging right before my very eyes. Next week my personal clock will turn to 36. Third row seats to David Sedaris on the eve of my birthday!! So excited.

I have a handsome and clever son sitting behind me with tears in his eyes as he watches Totoro.

I have a charming and and brilliant daughter sound asleep in my bed waiting for me to take her (PLEASE) to the bookstore in the morning....n...e...e..d...more..b-o-o-k-s.

My husband is still in Iraq although he is due to come back to us for a two week R/R in the near future. He is eager to be part of this family and part of my life it seems.

Today, at work, I completed another day - noting along the way my willingness to work while craving other populations.

Registered for the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington D.C. I will be making it happen on October 25th is support of Kristin Kettle - a young woman with amazing courage and insight to life. I hardly know her but have joined a group of hers to train and run the marathon--I feel honored and welcome. This is an awesome responsibility.

Easter, sunny days, and prospects for more pleasant days. I think I need to go listen to some Irish at the pub ...very soon.

Big black nervous dog got after little white alpha dog this week and left a smallish hole in his ear----shame.

Poor Alvin, just had an involuntary ear piercing, hang an earring from it.
