I received lovely cards from Megan+Mary and Rackycoo, but have been without internet access for ages now.  I'll try to get them posted asap, or feel free to go ahead and post the beauty, ladies!

I have a photo of the V card I sent to sissychrissy1, which I know she received -- is it OK if I post the photo? I really liked that card. 

Please feel free to post!  I've been overwhelmed by any number of personal issues in my life right now so I haven't had the chance to scan any of the cards I've received despite the fact that they've all been really great!

Holla!  I can't believe we are so close to the end!

I love how one of the things flying around in the tornado is incongruously a green squirrel. 

The squirrel was my favorite bit.

That "Quiet" one is so cool!

Yea!  All addressed and ready to go out tomorrow!

I'm so excited -- I finished my three ATCs today!

Perfect timing!  I was ATC-ing today already!

Bobolink, that is just adorable!

I just told my family before I went to visit once.  It was inevitable in the trip planning that my mom would mention cooking something particular or going out to eat somewhere special, so I just dropped it in saying something like, "Yeah, I'll just stop at the store on the way into town to get some veggie burgers to eat with the meal, because I'm not eating meat anymore" or "Oh, that's a good choice, I'm sure I can find something vegetarian there."  Of course, my carnivorous teenage brother thinks I'm a nut, and my dad doesn't quite understand, but it's not been much of a big deal, and any time I visit, my mom now makes certain to have appropriate alternatives for me or plans a shopping trip on the way home from the airport for me to pick up a few things.
