We're back from galavanting around again.

Xander's doctor appointment went well. He has a very minor birth defect. No surgery needed, unless we wanted to do cosmetic surgery. We feel it's not necessary and he can opt to do it when he's older if he wants. I'm just glad it's nothing serious.

Well, I'm on day 8 of my March dare. I'm doing very well. I missed one day of doing my sit-ups and push-ups so I did double the next day. I realized that I could do more than I'm doing, so I upped the ante a bit. Starting yesterday I've been doing 15 push-ups and 20 sit-ups. I was finally sore today in my tummy muscles. Maybe in another week I'll up it again.

The only area that I'm doing poorly in is the eating healthy bit. While we were in Montgomery I was tempted sorely by all the yummy food the town has to offer. They have Cinnabons! I love Cinnabons and we had to come home with a box. Heheh. Yum! The last one was eaten this morning, so I'm doing better from this moment forward. :)

The writing department is going fairly well. I did practically nothing but that on the entire trip from here to B'ham. I talked a few things over with James on the trip from there to Mongomery and he convinced me I really should work on an older idea that I've had. It's one that I feel more comfortable writing in some aspects (I know more that will happen in this story than any other I've worked on), but uncomfortable in other aspects of this work. Anyway, I have 1200 words already.

Good news! I found a paperback of my most favoritist fantasy author. Tamora Pierce's "Song of the Lioness" series was the first fantasy stories I remember reading. It's one of the very few books that I've read twice and would love to read again (as soon as I get hands on a copy). Several times I looked in card catalogs to find more books that she's written but never found anymore. I gave up and forgot about it. I wish I'd have thought to search the internet! I picked up the first in her "The Circle Opens" and I'm almost through with it. In her Biography section in the back there's a sff.net website address. I've read about all her other series and can't wait to read them. Check out her website!

Well, Xander wants to eat, gotta run!
