First of all, Happy Birthday to my sister Heather Cairncross (http://www.AltoVoice.com) – yes she can sing and I really cannot.. although I do frequently, much to my kids dismay.

And now for an update on me and my life – I know you’re probably wondering what’s going on especially as I look so rough.  Ok maybe not, but I’m going to tell you anyway.  I did start to record a video but I was pissing myself off so much with my miserable face I thought I’ll just take a screen shot instead so you can quickly scroll past it.
