WOW - good job. I really am so proud of my little misspriss living in house full of snakes. Also, I didn't know you bungee jumped. That's neat. I don't know if I could ever do it.

Katie said...

Oh and such a cute blog background!

Are you sure about #75? Maybe Kings? For sitting down or something?

Nice confidence in me, Sista. However, I am non-rehirable at Convergys. I think a lot has to do with the fact that I called in "sick" a million times, the clincher being the night you moved to Oklie and my manager told me she would have to write me up. Who else do you know that is non-rehirabe at Convergys? I'd say that's an accomplishment to be proud of.

Robin,
First I think you give me way too many compliments!! But thanks for all the nice things you said! I'm so glad we are in touch again. I still can't believe I found Meroly when I went to brasil...it was so surreal, we drove down her street and her and her mom were in front of the same house we gave her discussions in. Did I tell you she is a nurse now. Anyways, I'm leaving a comment 'cause I don't think I have an e-mail straight up for you--maybe I do, but now I've already written this all out.....
more later.
Love ya!
