I've been lax in responding because I've been busy having an <I>awesome</I> weekend.<BR/><BR/>Patti: I hope she doesn't read my blog and think I'm lame. That would kill me. If she's going to think I'm lame I'd hope that she forms that opinion after living with me; I don't want it to be a surprise :}<BR/><BR/>FADKOG: I will take some Motherbumper inspiration and Chuck Norris the hell out of it.<BR/><BR/>Mandy: That's just so evil.

That was the name of my fantasy hockey team this year and they totally kicked ass.<BR/><BR/>merecat: Was that a joke? :} Are you making fun of my fear of Conductor-Types? <BR/><BR/>Thopgood: "I'll never join you!"<BR/><BR/>Jenn: Aw, what are you talking about? You've got that train thing that goes from the 24 Fitness in Mission Valley to Fashion Valley Mall! It goes like, 4 stops! :}<BR/><BR/>Heather: Remind me not to ride CalTrain with you on the day I decide to cheat.<BR/><BR/>Mummaboo: Yes, I shouldn't tarnish it. I don't have any more baby polish in my cabinet.<BR/><BR/>Jennifer: Thanks for keeping score! One less thing for me to do...<BR/><BR/>Chicago Pop: smoke on a train is only a good sign if you are in the old west.<BR/><BR/>Mammastantrum: I'll try to make the news for something <I>more</I> embarassing someday. Just for you :}<BR/><BR/>Whit: Oh yeah! Thanks for the support!<BR/><BR/>Amanda: Check with Jennifer for any score updates. :}<BR/><BR/>Tracey: You are so honest that you make me feel guilty for even <I>considering</I> sneaking on board.
