13: Watches over me

The moon rose last night, keeping a watchful eye, while the sunset flashed it's farewell in our back windows. This is my favorite view of my home—from behind: red brick chimney, split rail fence, tall fir towering over the corner, scattered leaves on the greenish grass, Rocky standing guard on the deck. I walked the perimeter of this yard when we moved in eleven years ago, pleading with God for permission to stay here as long as I needed. I've now lived in this one space longer than any place I've ever lived.

Permission granted.

12: Midnight Muggles

Epic.

11: Socialite Media Mavens

Business networking: where have you been all my life? Cell phone use during meetings encouraged, dressing up in clothes from Limited Express, free drinks, entrepreneurial girlfriends and twinkle lights!

10: Checkmates

Multi-cultural chess team: Indian, Asian, White, Black, Redhead...

9: Heeling

There's very little new red heels can't cure.

8: Windows

One to my local world, one to distract me from it. 

(And rats—Footsies (my fantasy team) needed Eli and Hakim to run up the score... Giants lose to Cowboys in "turn around" game under Jason Garrett.)

7: Therapy

Tying the knot helps me untie the knot.
