So it’s like my 35th Christmas here on earth (if you count when I was just a wee lass of a month and a half old), and so far it’s been a good one. It’s got me thinking about a lot of things – the end of the year stuff – things I’ve accomplished this …
Theme Song: Pink Floyd “Money”…while thinking about birth control options… Projects: Writing articles, editing stuff, getting ready for Christmas You probably haven’t stopped much to think about birth control options – unless you need it. It’s really actually a sad thing that the options that we have for birth control are kind of slim and …
Theme Song: “The Right Stuff” New Kids on the Block Projects: Revising a book chapter, updating blogs, sending out newsletter, editing Right now, I’m listening to “The Right Stuff.” I know it’s totally cheesy, but would you expect anything less from a reformed Blockhead?
