I can’t even remember all that’s happened to me since August. I thought about spending time writing a wonderfully witty comeback post, but let’s be real. It would be another six weeks before I got that post done. So I’m going kick off my return with the following list of updates:

1. Writing: Clearly, I haven’t been writing as I should, but I did enter an essay contest for Real Simple. They announce the winner in January. Keep your fingers crossed!

2. Parenting: E is growing up to be quite the sassy young lady. After spending Halloween evening as an angel, complete with a Marabou halo and wings, she remarked: “I think I was the cutest little thing people saw tonight.”

3. Marriage: Hubby and I are still going strong. And yes, we are still sharing one car. One day, though, it will get better.

4. Me: I actually had to write “relax” on my to do list last week. Sad, but true.

More soon!
