		<description>I know envy is a bad thing, but heck, I SO envy you right now!  I&#039;m stuck at home after having a hysterectomy two weeks ago, and I&#039;m not even allowed to do laundry or vacuum.  In a small house with 6 people and two large dogs, it can be extremely frustrating to be home all day and not be allowed to touch the vacuum.  Really.  Tomorrow&#039;s the first day I&#039;m allowed to drive, and joy of joys, I get to go to the dentist.

But what I think I really envy is your ability to focus on your creative side.  When my kids were little, all I wanted to do was write and illustrate a children&#039;s book (I even belonged to the Institute of Children&#039;s Literature).  But alas, I did not have the focus that you seem to have.  Creativity seems to just flow out of you...it really is a gift!  I wish you the best of luck, although I doubt you will need it!</description>

		<description>I just came across your site for the first time and cannot express to you how much I enjoy your writing: your GH article; your short story on the sidebar...
I will probably lurk here from time to time, and I also will await your children&#039;s book with much anticipation!</description>
