[honeychile]

My guess is it's all in how you present it. Not all bragging, not too much detail. I'm thinking of last year's that I wrote, and it was something like:

Mr. honeychile & I started the year by getting engaged. Mixed blessing as his dad had just passed away - but he had known that mr. honeychile was about to propose; no date set.

Took the DAR genealogical course; DC post-9/11

Met some online friends.

Went to the Soccer Convention in Dallas.

Roughly 50 hours after I returned, my daddy died suddenly: We're bravely struggling.

My mama got a little bichon to keep her company.

Wonderful wishes to all, etc, etc!


Of course, it's a bit more fleshed out, but that's the idea. As I said before, I simply was incapable of writing, "My daddy died" close to 100 times.

And I stand by my birth video statement!!
