Another Shameless Plug
Do you have an iPhone? Do you have toddlers? If you answered yes to both of those questions, go take a look at my sister's new app, Mix Match Draw! Actually, even if you only answered yes to the first question, you should check it out, it is strangely addicting...
Confessions of a Consumed Mind
I love it when this happens. I am working on some 'thing' and it takes over my whole mind. Nothing else matters, not food, not sleep. There is only the THING. And it is a good thing, a worthy thing.
