Sandy – Wow, the first time you ever posted a comment on my blog, and it’s a whopper! Yay! Thank you for playing! I like how you’re the only one so far normal enough to be asleep at midnight. Haha.
k – no one commented on my fave girl/boy names. Hmm.
Flat Coke – You didn’t have that conversation with ME! What was the conversation about, whether you should or shouldn’t tell bloggers you love them?
I laughed at the one with your hand in a funny position, cuz when I saw that picture I thought, “What’s she doing w/her right hand?” and I saw there was a comment and one of your friends commented, “What’s up with your hand? Is it having a life of its own?” or something like that.
I didn’t realize how much I like Michael Buble until I listened to a lot more of his stuff in selecting wedding music.
We email-discussed someone (female-blogger) saying they love me on the first phone conversation they had with me and how ODD it seemed. BTW she has backed WAY off from me, thankfully.
