I try to find an ornament that represents something significant about the year."<BR/><BR/>But my mom shares this one with you. Sadly, she insists on doing this for every member of the family, meaning that we get 4 new ornaments, just from her, every Christmas! (In addition to the one I insist on buying on each of our vacations.) Our tree is getting bigger and bigger each year just to accommodate all this nonsense!Sarahlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658866017847046987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-46829120460677053112009-03-24T11:39:00.000-07:002009-03-24T11:39:00.000-07:00Wow, finally someone who doesn't adore chocolate e...Wow, finally someone who doesn't adore chocolate either!!

I wonder if it has to do with spring and the extra daylight? <BR/><BR/>It intrigues me that your method is so different from mine. I don’t outline in a first draft. You must need more structure in a mystery. I used to write very detailed outlines when I was writing academic papers. <BR/><BR/>You sound like a very organized person.
