Oops!

Happy belated birthday, hiddenhibiscus!!!

I hope your birthday was fabulous! I'm sorry I missed it on the day, but we have a saying in my family that goes something like this: "birthdays should last the whole month." Unfortunately, your birthday was on the last day of the month and alas! But here, have some wishes anyway for a year of love and health and happiness and an end to this rain and all that good stuff!

Here's to you and your day!

Restless

I feel... like I should be doing something. So I'm going to do this here writing challenge. Feel free to join in. We're going longer, but don't let that fluster you. I love everything from short-short-short works to the longer ones but this isn't the place to catch up on that last chapter you never completed for NaNoWriMo.

Since it's the holiday season and the spirit of giving, we're going with a gift-centered theme here, but... with a twist. Read on.
