And me without my camera! Last night at Stitch n’Bitch we got the babes together (Jen has a great shot of all of us) and my Gods the cute was getting pretty intense! It was enough to make the ovaries ache! Shockingly there was no Hell Mouth that opened up (as far as we know…) [...]

I believe I was saying something this morning about not planning to buy anything at the auction…Yeah…Well….SHUT UP!!! Don’t judge me!!!
