Mama suggested in a comment on my last post that perhaps I have writer’s block.  She referenced this: I do not have Sophia’s problem.

Right?  Right.  So that said, happy Mother’s Day, Mom!  She’s thinking about whether a late Mother’s Day post is acceptable.

Well, I’m not lost. I feel a bit lost, since it’s after midnight, I’ve been up since 4:30 a.m. yesterday morning, and I still can’t sleep. I’ve been wasting some time on YouTube, and I decided to watch (again!) this trailer for the new season of Lost, which starts next Thursday. I can’t wait! I [...]
