		<description>Mother Reader, good for you!  Having just spent the day with my own niece, I can totally attest to the curative powers of a niece-laugh.  I'm sure your daughters are dolls in their own right, but there's nothing wrong with loading the whole family up to go visit some happiness-inducing relatives.

Dylan, Disneyland?  Shut up!  And a limo ride on top of that?  Are you secretly Miley Cyrus?

Kathy, does that mean you liked it??

Kelley, speaking of dolls, I'd say your sister qualifies for helping you with the sick children.  Hope everyone comes out of the sick hut soon.

Lady S, big applause to you for rescuing a dog!  Here's hoping some of his personality issues will smooth out in the coming days so you can all settle into your pack.  And I hope your original dog understands he/she is still top dog in your heart.  It's hard to bring in a new animal, but it's even harder to see one put down if you can help.  Good luck!!

Katie Sis, every time you talk about your upcoming Scottish mission I smile.  Just love the thought of you getting to go to green country like that where there are all those cool accents.  And maybe you'll look up our pal TadMack while you're there!</description>

		<description>The nicest thing I'm doing for myself is making my whole family take a quick trip to Virginia Beach - down on Sat, back on Sun - to see my niece because she makes my heart happy. I've been under the weather physically and mentally, and could really use a toddler's laugh to lift me up.</description>

		<description>I stayed up all night Tuesday to read Sara Zarr's Sweethearts.  It was nothing like I thought.  I immediately passed it on!</description>

		<description>Katie Sis, I'm looking forward to your presence as well. I'm also begging you to finish Bray so I can have the third part in my hands as soon as I finish the second!</description>

		<description>I got a bit of a shock earlier, realising it was Friday and there'd be weekly accounting to do!   

Mostly this week has been about keeping my head above water - we took in a dog who was going to be put down by its owners, and he's pretty insane and was thrown out by the change, of course, and our other dog was &lt;i&gt;totally&lt;/i&gt; bent out of shape and there's been too little sleep and too much worry.  But none of the snapping was done by me, and no blood was shed by anyone, so I reckon we're doing pretty well!  And all the books I ordered last week and a few weeks ago arrived, so maybe I'll even to get to read some of them sometime. The anticipation is lovely anyway...</description>

		<description>Been hangin' with the Scottish pastor who is visiting us for revival and helping us (finally) plan our mission trip. It's been a busy, but fun week. I've been reading The Sweet Far Thing and am enjoying it so far. I also look forward to rescuing my sister from the horrors of sick kids next week. Hopefully they will no longer be sick though...</description>

		<description>Shai, I'd say you win this week!  How fantastic!  What a great gift to yourself!

Kelley, ugh, you poor, poor woman.  I'm so sorry your house has been visited by the Vomit Fairy.  You made the right choice last night, going to bed calmly rather than staying up to watch &lt;em&gt;Lost&lt;/em&gt;--no brain can shut off less than an hour after that.  I hope everyone is well soon!!

Lady T, what a cool sister date (actually, two cool dates)!  And what a great early Valentine's Day gift to yourself!  Good job.

Heather, driving any distance to buy yourself a book you'll love is always worth the effort.  Correction:  you're worth the effort.

Gotta head for Phoenix now.  I'll see you cats tonight.</description>
