Frankly, much more interesting and well-rounded than my procrastinations. =)

I LOVE this list and I'm SO mad that I missed Inside the Actor's Studio last night. I meant to tape it so I could watch my boyfriend who is super smart super cute and very funny. Sigh.

I'm reading this with a smile, and with some guilt... I have been blog surfing, and quite a few other things (some on your list), all to avoid the final steps of a very, scary heartfelt project... after all, once I'm done, I'll have to share, it was the whole point of doing this. And once I share I'll have left myself completely vulnerable... *sigh...

;-)

(((hugs))),
love,
me

I adore you! I just do.
