 @WilliamArsenis I wish I could say I have written a book, but I haven't yet.  I've been a freelance writer, advertising copy writer and PR writer.  I currently write an occasional blog for my local Patch. There is a book in me, probably,non-fiction.  My immediate goal is to update my blog more frequently.

@WilliamArsenis Great points here.  As a writer first, blogger second, the lines sometimes blurred between writing and blogging for me.  I found writing to be more in the style of reporting and blogging, more informal, stylistically.  I wonder if you've ever faced this quandary?

@danenow Experimenting with different ingredients for my smoothies.  Use kale a lot, coconut butter, almond butter, mango, cayenee, and will now search out bee pollen.  Wonder how you feel about a few drops of ginseng for energy and wheat grass?

@JoeHefferon This made me chortle! Thanks for the laughs at the expense of so much of what I read in the stream. Life's too short; who has the time to read about the really good bowl of organic steel cut oatmeal I just made with frozen wild blueberries! : D

Annie, i had to write you after reading your desire about desiring a vaginal birth.  I longed for that too.  Took lamaze, refused any pain meds with my first after  I went into labor, did all the breathing, had pitocin...baby wasn't coming out at 7 cm dilated...finally the C-section; 2nd baby- VBac, no success; and for my 3rd, C-section scheduled (And my easiest birth) The joy you will feel when baby is born far over-rides the method of birth.  And the beauty of my scheduled C-section was I did not go through the pain of labor and had a much easier recovery.  Hope it all goes smoothly, with minimum discomfort and healthy baby and Mama!
