Kara is 9 still. 10 in September. She's getting all As, except in Math, where she has a D. She's reading at 7th/8th grade level, but prefers younger books. She disturbs her teachers with her huge vocab and talk of death, dismemberment, and ghosts--they even called us in to have a talk about it and her slipping grades (I guess the As are wobbly). She hates doing things she's not interested in, and is drawing amazingly good anime-style art--better than anything I ever did as a kid.

Aidan, evil bunny, is in 2nd grade now, and will be 8 next Saturday. He's better than Kara at math, but reads less well. He constantly cuts out (freehand) rapid transit vehicles, that he then colors or outlines, and then drives them around the house, drawing new people inside at each stop. He's obsessed with bejeweled (I didn't even know there was a cognito level), and sometimes hurts himself when he's upset.

I can only sleep 2-3 hours a time. I went off Wellbutrin and my hair is growing back. I'm less depressed. A little up and down with it, but it's only been 3 weeks.

Things are cooking along, you know?

I'm feeling better. I think it's you guys' fault.

I've been vibing for all of you what needs it lately and still skim at least every few days.

Thanks for the advice, omnis. I'd considered something like that, but, though my stairs are carpeted, they've also got a turn, and it takes pretty much all my strength to push the table just across a flat carpeted floor.

I looked at the revised one first and was going to suggest that you add a comma and then saw it on the earlier version so I think it was punctuation that got just lost in change in formatting.

Great catch lcat, thank you so much!

I can't even express how grateful I am for keener eyes than mine. Day to day, I manage fine with dyslexia. With marketing stuff, it absolutely ties me in knots.

bonny, I like the resized pic. I would set it flush to the left side, which would allow you to size the font back up on the second part of the text.

No, I'm not sure why I have such clear opinions on this matter. I hope they are helpful. Feel free to ignore them if not.

smonster, I adjusted the photo to the left.

So what do y'all think? Is the photo good enough at this size?

Also, now that the text is bigger, should the name at the bottom be indented to the ellipsis, or flush to the word 'Set?'

I can't tell if it looks balanced.

My landlady/friend just came by with her adorable 2 yo bundle of chaos. She's finally going to fix my dryer today, hallelujah. She asked what the deal was with New Orleans and was like, "Do I just need to evict you so you don't have a place to live?" Awesome.

bonny, much better. As for the name at the bottom, maybe center it? I think the picture is fine.

Sweet?

Yeah, it's nice to get that tough love support.

Looks great bonny. My only other comment is that you use a serial comma in the second bullet but not the first.

brenda, good catch!

I am totally unclear about serial comma etiquette. Which is better?

Once this is resolved, it's DONE!

Thanks to everyone who commented. I'm actually satisfied and fairly confident about the finished product. THAT is a source of celebration around these parts.

So, cheers!
