If not, you can throw a pillow at me.<br /><br />Yep. Keep on keeping on.

When you succeed, it matters, when you don't it matters. So when you don't make it, there is a neccesary grieving process, your heart is sore and your mind is busily working it's way to the next project. <br /><br />So take your break, recharge your spirits, and tackle the next project. <br /><br />You too will one day be a an overnight success ten years in the making, lol! which is funny but also semi depressing. You are a good storyteller Cathy. Remember that. :-)~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326551783186026236.post-16850436970083900082009-04-16T16:39:00.000-07:002009-04-16T16:39:00.000-07:00Hang in there, Ma.

Now I'm eating the last of the leftovers - new potatoes with parsley, pork tenderloin, and some steamed mixed veg. No Cheetos. No big block of milk chocolate.
