I fell on the icy front steps this morning, bruising my butt AND my ego in one fell swoop. I lay there on my back for a few minutes, partly out of shock and partly because if that was any indication of how the rest of the day would be, I wasn’t in a big hurry to find out what else it had in store for me. Yeow.

All this is really just to say, my happy birthday contest ends tomorrow at 11:59 p.m. I will draw the winner on Feb. 1, so go go go!
