  8. Hi there!  I just wanted to write and thank you for all the wonderful comments you leave in my journal.  

    I've been reading through yours and I about cracked up reading about your tanning experience.  Maybe I should try this....I look like a corpse I'm so white.  

    Anyway, I'll be coming around more often!

    Love,
    Bridgett

    at least you are honest, and it is funny, when you place those calls, forget, and have the person remind you in a few days........

    but the excuse, must have been in a black out
