It was warm and sunny today and the kids played in the backyard for 3 hours! WOO!!! I believe they were building a pill bug habitat and making food for imaginary friends of some sort. I'm just thrilled they were getting fresh air and I didn't have to tell them no for three whole hours. Well, except when the little one got stuck climbing a fence... but we caught her. ;)
Other good news - I've picked a story and I'm 1000 words into it. The invariable bad news is I've written it in two different styles so far and I can't decide which works best. What is this new form of self sabotage?! Why must I thwart myself so?!
My goal for this week is to pick a voice and stick with it. Of course, then I'll be stuck on the fence of some other issue... much like my two year old today.

May 5, 2008 at 7:52 AMAnd thank you for your birthday wishes! :) I am so excited, and I can't believe either that I am turning 21. I remember when your sis turned 21! And I thought it was the most womanly of ages! haha! I still feel like I'm 17.
I started Starcaster three times before I found the right voice, which turned out to be first person.

Wow, now I feel all profound.
I am loving our nice weather, too. Not too hot, not too cold - perfect! I will be complaining in another month or so, when the temperatures rocket into the 90's!
