to love passionately...

Finally! The chance you've been waiting for!

If you would like to contribute $5 or $10 to the "buy kate a bass" fund, you are more than welcome to. I will not stop you.

well it's unfortunate but let's just move on, shall we?

i burned my bagel this morning. badly.

Dad drew Rachael
Mom drew Kendra
Lissa drew Dad
Josh drew Mom
Kate [that's me] drew Eric
Eric drew Lissa
Kendra drew Josh

back to work.

some doubts...

i've heard it pronounced flawlessly [and in the correct context] twice now by two different extremely intoxicated people.

and i'm starting to wonder if maybe it's all it's cracked up to be.

i'm just saying...
