First, in response to your comments to blog entry about Seeking the Quiet, my post earlier this week.... thanks for the kind words and the funny ones, too. It always fascinates that those who are in touch with my writing/ramblings seem to recognize the cyclical nature of my emotional side in tune with the tides and life cycle of a woman. For those concerned that you will miss the ramblings of a whore-moanal woman.... fret not, for as I understand it from my doctor, in a hysterectomy in which the ovaries are left intact, that all stays. So, things shouldn't change terribly after my surgery on Monday. I'm all set and cleared for the operation.

Today is my birthday... it is not a milestone birthday other than I am on the closer side to 50 now instead of 40, and that's notable, I suppose. Will be layin' low at home, choosing a quiet celebration.

Hey.... some great news to share! Kelly got accepted to Eckerd College! She is entering the pre dental program in the fall. I am very proud and we have much to which look forward.

More later....
