I feel compelled to note that this is not true.”

Things of Note:
Crazy times. Those two huge projects I mentioned yesterday that both suddenly have to be done this week? Stressing me out. Hence why this post is so late today; I usually like to get them out in the morning, but that wasn’t happening. I’m also behind on my blog reading and comment answering, so if you said something really nice and I haven’t responded yet, I’m sorry. I will get to it. On the upside, I do get a break this evening, out to coffee with some fellow Austin blogettes. Should be fun. 🙂
How’s your week going?
