I apologize if you receive posts via email. Apparently some bug sent out multiple (18 or more) copies of the same post on Saturday morning. I’m still not sure why so I apologize if it happens again while I test the system.

It’s a family tradition that we eat Chinese food on holidays…Birthdays, Airplane Days, Christmas Eve. It’s just what we do. Monday, we were all sitting around the table celebrating my mom’s birthday. She had ordered some sushi* this time.
*In our house, this means veggies and cooked stuff wrapped in rice and seaweed.
Nana: Does anyone want [...]

I’m not sure how many ways there are to say this.
BACK UP YOUR DATA!
I know this. I knew this. Somehow in the excitement of being finished, or multi-tasking, or feeling invincible, I forgot this. I wish it was as easy as hitting CTRL+S.
