I sang Happy Birthday to my book this morning. It was corny, but it was pretty cool, too. It helped that a 6-year-old was doing it with me. Had I been alone, it probably would have just been corny. Then, I checked my email and found a really awesome print review in the Fredericksburg
Free Lance Star newspaper!
CHECK IT OUT!
After this contest, today's going to be about toasting
LAUNCH DAY for
