A Winner! and I'm Out and About

First, Congrats to Lisa Jordan! My two year old drew your name so e-mail me with your address and I'll get Tailor-Made Bride out to you. :-)

I'm running around this week doing all sorts of things so I'm taking a week off of blogging. I hope wonderful things happen for all you this week and I'll see you next Monday!

We All Got to Learn to Do It Sometime

*grossness alert* We all have to learn to deal with doo-doo eventually.

One problem. He didn't want to. He's fastidious and doesn't like to make mistakes, so the thought of taking care of this daily chore literally reduced him to screaming and crying on the toilet.

Or do they demand things we've learned to only wish for? What's the wildest thing one of your characters has done? Would you do it?
