I’ll be the first one to admit it – I’ve been a slacker. I haven’t posted in ages, haven’t been returning emails, phone calls – heck, I generally don’t answer the doorbell unless I know who it is in advance.
I have multiple excuses, so let’s hope one of these works: I’ve moved out of the [...]
In December, I wrote a post about my 5 favorite things (the top of list is of course Mike and Anna) and discussed that Oprah was at the top of my least favorite things list. I think I’ve waited long enough to do a post on the least favorite things list…
