awww, thanks Lara!

I actually thought that you might think I was a stalker or something, being some random chick out of the blue who reads on your life.

btw, i LOVE the new page layout. I liked the old one, but this one is so much more crisp and clean--kind of like walking into a new apartment before it has furniture. :)

hope you're having a good day!
