do you have any idea how excited i get when i see that you've updated ... and then i see my NAME mentioned ... it makes a crappy lunch at the desk all worth it.

Oh...I have to ask...have you posted about Hot Morrocan Boy? And the tattoo?? Did I miss it somewhere in your blog?

And I highly advise getting your navel pierced. Although it seems to take FOREVER to heal (up to 6 months, mind you!), it's well worth it! I had mine done several years ago and do not regret it!

P.S. Thanks for stopping by my blog (Pit Bulls are nothin' but big babies, aren't they??? I have my girl, Jezbel, inside but her son, Strider (aka the proverbial bull in a china shop), stays outside.)

You are welcome for stealing my list even though I stole it from another site! ha ha. Hey, being a graphic designer for the past 16 years and I used to work in a T-Shirt factory as a designer and photographer...I will help design the shirts when you and the girls go into business. Count me in on the bandwagon :) Rock on! inky
