And hm, I thought I'd already fanned you.
Ninja mode, stealth mode. Same thing, really. Why so shy, anyway?
By the way, do you know you're in stealth mode? Looking at your "events" section it's like you don't exist.
Indeed!

He is due March 6th-ish. The wife and I are going to take breathing classes in February, just in case we forget how to do it in the delivery room.
Ha! Nobody's complained about the story being implausible, so no worries on that front! Great critique, thanks so much for reading it. If I get a chance to revise, I definitely want a new word for pants. I need a clothing thesaurus!
Dooooo it. Writeyerfaceoff.

Hope your small child feels better, too.
If you've the inclination I certainly won't stop you. I'll certainly review yours when you've posted. Lots of not-so-great writing on here, lately.
You can try the microfiction circle if you want to start out small. It's like FFFF only with 150 word stories and on Mondays. There's a microfiction contest coming up at the Binnacle in February some time, so I'm priming for that.
Are you kidding? Thank you! I'm addicted to your writing!

About Mary

Occupation: I run an adult day program for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I was also suckered into running the evening activity center.
About Me: about me? hmm. i have the funniest little girl (she's almost 2!), and a very nice looking English husband (i think he's nice looking). i live in a small town. i like yoga. i'm a little OCD (well, more than a little). and i like to think i'm weird. (i'd hate to find out i'm normal. so if i am, shh, don't tell)
Interests: writing, theatre, reading, learning random or strange facts, plants (it's a love-hate relationship. i kill everything), cooking (i really want to write a cookbook some day), indians baseball, steelers football, and then there's always the current obsession (it's part of the OCD).
Publications: none, but i did have a few of my plays performed in college.

i'm sure the folks at BoundOff have my email blocked...
Favorite Books: 1000 White Women the Journals of May Dodd, The Mummy Congress: Science Obsession and the Everlasting Dead, Wuthering Heights
Favorite Movies: Chocolat, Wuthering Heights (Merle Oberon & Lawrence Olivier version), Across the Universe
Favorite TV Shows: i DVR way too much stuff, makes me look useless, but i absolutely love man vs wild & true blood. you can sprinkle in eastwick, private practice, the vampire diaries, america's next top model (okay, that's a lie, i watch it religiously), the biggest loser, cougar town (don't judge, just watch it), flashforward, and grey's anatomy. wow, i promise i do more than just watch tv.
Favorite Quotes: "The world is all sunshine and bunnies."
"Yes, until you realize the bunnies are rabid and the sunshine is killing you slowly."

"I stole a road cone, again, and there's margarita in my pants."
Loves: being a mommy, olives, anything i can put olives in (like pasta, tuna, salads, spreads), random useless facts, history, old stuff
Hates: being told to do something, 4 or more feet of snow, people who are mean just to be mean, anything asymmetrical
