Today I have another guest post to send you out to read. I’m visiting over at The Wordslinger’s homeland. I’ll get a direct link up soon, but I have to hit publish before I go spend my morning running around like a headless chicken. In the meantime, I do hope that Jim and his wife have welcomed their word slinging baby, little Ampersand (Sandy for short) into the world by now. Because I know what it’s like to be 9 months pregnant and just want it OVER.

Edit:

And! Jim and his wife have welcomed their new baby into the world. His name is now Matthew, not Ampersand. (But dang Sandy was a great nickname for that baby!) I am a firm believer that Jim was genius to host a series of guest writers while the family is adjusting to its newest member. And I can’t tell you all how thrilled I am to be in that number. I really want to tell you one last story about Fudge, and Jim’s blog was the perfect place to talk about how my dying dog killed my carpet.
