  2. I think one can safely call that a packed January. I'm sorry that it was not all good stuff that packed it, but it sounds like there were definitely rays of light in there :)

  3. I'm sorry it was a rough month. Happy upcoming birthday! Sometimes, I have a birthday week instead of a day. You know, Queen for a Week! So much better.

  5. That was a big month. Let's hope that Feb has less stress and more awesome. So far, not working out that way for me.
