A Winner Announced and My Life Is Changing

Friends.  I said I would announce the winner yesterday, but I was busy hunting for apartments instead!  Ack!

So.  I'm late.  My sincere apologies.

The winner, thanks to random.org, is Miri!  Send me your address (at hereeverymomentcounts [at] gmail [dot] com) and I will send you a copy of Looking Up: A Memoir of Sisters, Survivors, and Skokie.

For the rest of you, I strongly encourage you to read this book.  It's available on Kindle and in paperback at stores everywhere.

*****


I start school on Monday.  I read the syllabi of my classes last night and am already 7 chapters, 2 papers and several little essays behind.  In between hyperventilating sessions, I remembered that I'm starting a master's program and must start acting, thinking, and writing like an intelligent person.


I think this might be harder than I expected. (At least it would be if I had known what to expect in the first place.)  (Granted, it's hard to know how difficult any program is until you actually start.)


And since Ben and I like having big changes all at once, we will also be moving next weekend (if things go as planned), and he starts his new job the following Monday.  Thank goodness I still have 5.5 months until baby #3 is due.


So I will all but disappear from this space for the next little while as we adjust to, well, everything.  Wish me luck!

  5. Good luck indeed! And good for you, Amber. I always found school to be energizing and thrilling. (A little weird, I know.) But what an exciting time for you and your family!
