I told Mark that when the semi driver hit us this summer, he drove off with all our bad luck, because we've had nothing but good luck and good graces all summer long since then (although my brother said we deserved to be in the wreck because of the fight he and I had - said it was karma - little does he know just how good the karma's been!!!)

Six years ago - Mark was really sick,...

Well, if she didn't, I'm here to tell you - you will!

13 years ago, I was all packed and ready to move to the dorms for college. And then some boy came along and kissed me and ruined me for anyone else for the rest of my life.

Fast forward and we've got 3 kids, and one of them turns 6 tomorrow. We did a birthday for him today complete with jumpy houses and screaming kids.
