You really need to blog more often - it has become quite the highlight to my otherwise all-too-busy day. The only problem is: IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ENOUGH!

As I sit here eating my Taco Bell-in-a-bowl lunch, I wonder: will my creative little sister let me be her editor when she decides to publish someday?? I may get to put that English degree to work yet...

love,
Your big sister
