And now a word from our sponsors...

This past year has been one of hectic changes and serious personal adjustments.

First of all, I lost my connection to the digital world with the poorly attached lid of a sipee cup full of juice (I gained comfort only in knowing that the death of my machine was instantaneous).

Then, the realities of living as both a college student and a mother truly sunk in, as the only way we could afford a new computer was through months of ramen noodles and a minor miracle.

And then, the world granted me a minor miracle, and all the noodles paid off. Computer firmly ensconced away from the terror of the two-year-old, I am finally back.
