Birdie quilts, babies, & birthdays

UPDATE:
In this post a few days ago, I mentioned that Tiffiney had gone into preterm labor at almost 25 wks. Sadie Mae was born on Saturday, July 4th, at 1lb 8oz, and 12.25in long.  I’ve been stalking facebook obsessively… based on status updates & comments, it appears that all is well with both mother [...]

murkiness

Been a weird couple of days… I keep starting posts, and not finishing them. Looked in my queue, and I have 5 unfinished posts sitting there. Kind of indicative of my brain – keeps starting and stopping in spurts, intersected by reading a long-ass book (“Prince of Tides”) and puttering about this weekend.
