When I wrote that bit about not blogging for a week, I thought I was joking, but look…I haven’t posted for a week. I was pretty caught up in the drama of your votes and wondering who would win the coveted title of Favorite Party of the 2nd Annual Blogoversary Party Party (I think I […]

Between technical difficulties and a whirlwind week of organization/rearranging furniture, thanks to my generous SILs who are here helping a poor pregnant woman, I have not been able to pick my finalists, yet, for my party party.
