      Oh, well thank you for the comment! I’m kind of a blog-a-holic, and I love to find bloggers who aren’t A) in high school b) married w/ kids… because although I enjoyed being in high school and have some mommy blog aspirations, it’s so nice to find some in-betweeners. We have stuff to say too, ya know! ~ Jessica

    Ahh, thank you for my blog comment. I had no idea you were a reader! It’s probably insanely boring, but then… so is my life. ha…
    I tried adding your blog to my bloglines feed, but for some reason I keep getting errors. I will try to visit often!

    ahh I love this entry. You inspire me to make my blog all cutesy and interactive. I’ll have to do something like this on a day when my “about me” picture will be cute, haha.
