Exciting! That puts me officially two away from being forced to fulfill a deal I made with myself: once I hit 20 publications [of any size or…
My apologies for the long hiatus! As many of you know, my husband and I moved into our new place a couple of weeks ago and we’ve only just gotten our cable/internet transferred over.
