Do you remember receiving notes in elementary school that went something like this...I like you. Do you like me? Circle yes or noRemember the surge of excitement you would get when you realized someone liked you and wanted to be your friend? It was a great feeling then and it's a great feeling now.So yeah, I admit it...after less than a week of writing a personal blog I find myself holding my breath each day as I "stop by" to see if anyone has … [Read more...]

You know, you start making plans...in your head...to go and do something really fun and then you think some more about it and you end up wimping out and decide, "Nah, that would be too much trouble, never mind."
