I'm sorry about the essay rejection Anj - lame:( Don't let it discourage you for more than a minute girl, keep on keepin' on.
The family bike rides sound fun,however the kidney stones do not - sorry Mick! Bring a wooden spoon to bite down on and you'll do great.
hugs to my pals Dane and Aubs:)

Thanks, Karen. Fortunately I got over it in about two minutes: a) I found an old (good) essay I'd completely lost five years ago, and b) I reminded myself that Cleanings had been cut from 2700 words to 1100, which seemed to take away some of its power (made it almost anecdotal), so I wasn't entirely surprised.
Perserverance and risk are my key words; I'll keep on keepin' on, as you and Will Farrell might say.
As for Mick, I've stuck a wooden spoon in his backpack :)
