UGH!   I check my 3 email accounts religiously.  One I use for this blog, another that I had set up in college and basically now just use as junk mail exclusively (random signups, etc) and then this one that I use for personal correspondence.  I rarely let any of them pile up for more than a few days to a week, at [...]

so…back when I had time on my hands (I’m talking HOURS) I used to go hang out with mom at her house, [...]


So, there really aren’t that many guys on my manjoyment “list” but I’ll be 18 rows away from one of them shortly, courtesy of Matt!!   I think he’s even excited to go…a little.  I dunno what it is about Justin.   I think it was his 2nd turn on SNL that made me dream for my very own [...]
