And I'll cry - or smear cake across my face - if I want to.
There I am, at the ripe age of two, exercising my personal rights.
Here I am, at the ripe age of - well, let's say I'm not GAP's target audience anymore - feeling guilty that I took a three-day weekend off writing.
It wasn't intentional. There were a million reasons, which I'm prepared to number if someone is looking at me with their hands on their hips.
Anyhoo, I'm quite proud of all my Row80 fellow writers, they of the finely honed discipline. Me and my 362 words on Sunday evening are humbled in your presence.
I promise writerly greatness when next we check in on Wednesday.
You'll rub your eyes in amazement.
You'll gasp.
You'll clasp your chest and stagger backwards.
You'll buy me cake!
I'm standing by with chest paddles.
And as for that photo: You were the Cutest Lil Redhead E-VER.

EDEN -- If only I didn't have to pay Joel the big bucks for red hair now! Forget the paddles, let's go for some macaroons.

We've had dramarama around here, but even though I've been radio silence on the comments, I have been cheering you on. Do you think potential home buyers will notice floors that resemble Ruffles?

Love your pictures. I say dance in victory over your words. Word are words woman.

BRENDA -- You're very sweet!

ANGI -- Ahh, I never doubt your cheering, my friend. And Vice Versa. I keep waiting with baited breath for you on many fronts. Good news is coming, I'm sure of it!!!! As for the floors, ruffles as in lace? Or ruffles as in potato chips. I say YUM to the latter. =)

Lori, oh my gosh, were you cute! That hair! Too cute for words, perhaps that's what kept you from reaching the word count--too much cuteness! hee hee! Give yourself a break and exercise carpe diem tomorrow, that's what I say! :)

BELLA -- hahhaha!! I just saw this comment. Quite ridiculous, but very sweet. Amen to the carpe diem.

You're so cute at age 2, and the cake is scrumptious! Whenever I see birthday parties, I cry because I remember when my kids had theirs and they look a lot like this. They are just growing up so fast!
