Are the start of school vacation week. And that means I welcome this particular Monday with open arms.

We’ve got some fun stuffed planned for this week and I promise to pop in and out and tell you about it. In the meantime, thank you for all of the support for my Scary Mommy article. And for those of you who were aware of my flu diagnosis, know that I appear to have dodged the brunt of it and I’m feeling fine and have been fever-free since Friday afternoon.

My self-imposed hibernation made for a pretty low key weekend and I’m just fine with that. There was snacking and music and reading and television and even some knitting. Truthfully, it wasn’t that different than a regular weekend around here!

Well. A regular weekend with cream puffs, anyway.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Catch you in a day or so.

That surprise I told you about yesterday? It’s ready. Or should I say, it’s published . . .

Diet Culture Is Everywhere — Even In The Workplace

That’s right, friends, I’ve been published! The piece I wrote a few months ago about the women’s workshop I went to has been published on the Scary Mommy page! I’d love for you all to go on over there and read it, click on it, share it on Facebook or twitter . . . whatever you can do to help it be read by lots of people would be so awesome.

Thank you for encouraging me to do this and thanks for being loyal readers. Does this make me a real writer now?
