I'd like to give a shout-out to all my writer friends who are ghostwriters...it was your week last week, but I didn't get you anything. :(

And today is Panic Day! That's a relief, because now I can stop telling myself, "It's okay, don't panic..."

The 23rd is National Puppy Day, but I can tell you right now what my sweetie would say to that: "Isn't every day puppy day?"
