(*You best go run and get your coffee, and settle in bitches, because it’s a long one. Seriously. You might not see me ’round these here blog parts till Thursday because I wrote so much. And I am fatigued. And yes, that is pronounced: fah-tee-gu-ood.*)

Oh, lovelies. I’m here. I promise. Thanks so many of you who reached out and wondered if something was afoot in Barbieland. I’m happy to report that all is well, I’ve just been taking some “me time” on the long weekend.

You see, living in Boston? Patriots day is “Marathon Monday.” And its a HOLIDAY. As in: no work. So I spent this glorious day out in the 70something degree weather reading my book, taking care of errands (MY CAR DOOR IS FINALLLY FIXED PRAISE JEBUS!!!!!!!!), browsing through a local bookstore, and cheering on some runners for a few minutes. It’s days like these that I take a deep breath, take it all in, and just love where I’m at in my life right now.

And try to forget that even my car mechanic told me this afternoon that my car? My dear, sweet, old girl? “She’s getting old. You might want to seriously consider not putting anymore money into her and just bite the bullet and get a new car…and that’s my honest opinion.”

That’s right, even the man who TAKES MONEY FROM ME FOR FIXING MY CAR told me that she is on her last leg. I’m trying not to think about that right now. ANYWAY.

Oh, the questions! So many questions! (Dude. I loved it.) And some of you? Were NOT afraid to get right down to the root of things and ask some personal things. Honestly, y’all were in my thoughts this weekend. And your questions. Seriously. I’m all lazily reading my book in the park, or walking around, or curled up in my bed, and whats on my mind? YOUR QUESTIONS…AND ANSWERS to them. So, for that, I thank you for picking my brain and making me really think. It was such a great exercise for me, and couldn’t have done without you all. So, here you go…here are your answers to the things you’ve always wanted to know about BB.

Enjoy.

/….

La asks: When I move there, where is the first place you’re going to take me to have a good time?

Oh La. There are so many things that we could do, because I have a feeling that no matter WHAT we were doing, as long as we were together, it’d be a good time. For a night out on the town, I’d probably drag you down to Boylston street and hit up the likes of Lir, perhaps the Pour House (because really, it’s just…classic. And I think we’d have a damn good time there.) and then end the night at our local watering hole…Harry’s. Because we’ll be neighbors. And then we can stumble home. Together. Arm in arm. :)


Dreamgrrl asks: if you could do something wild, without consequences & unlimited funds, what would it be/where would you go?

I’d hop a plane to Australia. Travel around the country. Flirt with Hot Aussies. See the sites. Swim in the ocean. Absorb everything I could about their culture, and live it up. That’s where that whole UNLIMITED funds comes into play. Oh, and I would do this all by myself…and not really be in contact with anyone from my real life. For three weeks. I think that would be an awesome experience.

Kirbyann asks: Was it difficult to make the decision to cut your hair. I’m wanting to cut mine so badly but I’m scared to.

Honestly, I’ve had my hair cut short when I was in college, but yes…it definitely took me going to the hair dresser twice. She wouldn’t cut it the first time because she was all, “You’re not ready. No matter how good I make it look, you are not ready.” She was right. She did a little trim, and highlighted my hair. A month later I went back, and was all “CHOP IT OFF NOW BITCH.” Okay, so I wasn’t really like that. But I was all “BE GONE HAIR!”

I’m so glad I did…sometimes you just have to take the plunge…but only when the time is right for you. It also helped me to remind myself that it is only hair. It WILL grow back. Best of luck, let me know what you decide to do!!! :)

Michelle & the City asks: when are you coming to c-bus? Secondly, what’s your favorite color to paint your toenails?

Oh darling. I’m trying to get a trip planned there this summer. But, you’ll probably see me before then, in Erie. Visiting GreekMan ;)

Also, favorite color for my toes? Winter time: Wicked by Essie; Summer: My Chihuahua Bites by OPI or Keys to my Karma by OPI. Currently.

Khaki584 asks: With all the things that have happened in your life thus far, do you have any regrets?

Yes. I regret all the times I forgot to send in a rebate forms. Seriously. Maybe then I’d have some extra cash.

For real though, a lot of stuff has happened to me this past year, and while I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy, I wouldn’t change it, or the way I handled it. I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason, and that I’ve had to deal with all of these occurrences so I will turn out to be the person God created me to be. While I recognize not all prescribe to that thought, its what I believe. Sometimes we just won’t learn until we go through it ourselves….the important thing though, is to learn from it.

Caitlyn in the Rye asks: out of all of the dates you’ve been on, what was your favorite first date and who was it with? And more importantly, what shoes did you wear?

Dude. This is HARD. Favorite first date? Eeek. There’s been a lot of them. I don’t know about first, but I can give you a date though that ranks in my top five, though. I was a sophomore and was dating a senior at the time. While Ken was my first LOVE, he…he was my first love. Of sorts. He taught me how to drive, took me under his wing, introduced me to thoughts and life and opened my eyes to the world. It was with him I drank at a party for the first time, and also the reason I will think of him, every New Years Eve (our anniversary.)

He is the one who sang to me “Just To See You Smile,” when I left him to be with Ken, the fall of my Junior year. To this day, it’s hard for me to listen to that song. But that’s another story entirely.

It was the summer before he left for college, and it was our last day/night together. We spent the afternoon hiking through the woods, and then he surprised me with a romantic dinner at his dock. There were rose petals everywhere, and candles lit. He took the boat for a ride up the river, and he played the mix tape he made me for me as we drifted in the water looking up at the stars in that June summer’s night sky. There are still songs from that tape I hear that takes me back to that night.

He’s now married, and just bought a house with his wife. We still keep in touch, and his family still sends me Christmas cards. They loved me…and I loved them. But…I honestly believe him and I met too soon. But I’m thankful for the time we shared.


Impossible Germany asks: I live in Boston as well and would like to know where you got your hair cut. I’m looking for a new place. I like your hair. Details please.

The pictures of the fabulous new ‘do are from when I got my hair chopped and highlighted at The Green Tangerine Salon in Burlington, MA by Heather. SHE IS AWESOME. If Burlington is too far out of your way (I stumbled upon it because it’s close to where I work and couldn’t make it into the city at times they were open.) If you don’t want to make the drive north, I HIGHLY recommend Suzi at Beaucage. When I worked downtown, thats where I went..it’s on Newbury St.

Both places will leave you floating on air you’ll be so thrilled with your mane…and honestly, prices aren’t as bad as some salons I’ve seen. Good luck!


Ann asks: Do you like like your roommate? You know, in *that* way

Ohhhh Ann. So many of you wondered about this. And I shall now clear the air. For all of you :)

At one point, I can truthfully say, yes. And he liked me too. We may have evenly drunkenly madeout/kissed because we HAD to clear the sexual tension in the air that was just too much to take. (We’re not proud of this, but it had to happen.) That was a year ago

Now? Honestly? We’re best friends, and there are things about him that I know I could never put up with in a relationship. While there are a couple things, the biggest is this: I really don’t like how his opinions are so sharply contrasted; it’s either black or white with him. There are no grey areas. And we all know how BB feels about the grey.

So, that is why we remain best friends, and he is my go to guy for all boy related advice. And I heart him as my roomie, even if his opinion sucks when it comes choosing which shoes to go with what outfit when we go out at night. But I suppose we can’t have it all. He does take out the garbage. And puts the toilet seat down. So really? Me thinks he’s a keeper. And a great FRIEND.

OhmyGoshi: Where did you get those fabulous red shoes?!

Okay people. Brace yourselves here. So, remember in my “all about BB” post I explained about garages sales blahblahblah. Well, when I was home, there is a cute little consignment shop that opened. Those shoes were brand new, never been worn, still had tags on them, ribbons wrapped up in tissue and plastic and were being sold for EIGHT DOLLARS. And happened to be my size. (7, in case you were wondering.)

Yes.

So, yeah. I took it as fate. A consignment shop. A sharp contrast to the Max & Cleo dress I wore from Jasmine Sola. Awesome. (Oh, for the record, the shoe brand is “Newport News,” but I don’t think they make them anymore.)

Elise: Okay, I may have asked you this before, but what is the best lipgloss ever? I’ve been on a major search, asking around all over the place, and this seems like something you would have good advice on. Also, which of the four major personality types are you?

Okay my darling. I take my lipgloss very, very seriously. As I have about 30 different kinds of the same shade. Just saying. Therefore, I declare myself an EXPERT on lipgloss. And this is what I’ve come up with.

While Nars’ “Orgasm” gloss has been my all time go to, it has been usurped. (I Know! The shock!) And this is my recommendation: Carol’s Daughter, Candy Paint Lip Gloss in “Grown & Sexy.”

Go buy it now. Trust.

You will adore it. ADORE. And a bonus? Carol’s Daughter donates a portion of its sales of Candy Paint lip gloss to the Lupus Foundation of America. So go. Look good, and feel good doing so.

LFar asks: who is somebody you are jealous of? what traits do you envy

Hmmmm. Jealous of. Well, I am tres jealous of my darling IBFF CiCi, and her ability to have an amazingly rockin’ body after having two delightful little short and loud people. My psuedo nephews WHOM I LOVE because we are truly soul sisters. For reals. She is also my Facebook wife. She’s hot, y’all. (Love you lady!)

(Oh yeah, her ability to write and be all intelligent and juggle all the things she does and what life has thrown her, is a close second. She does them all with beauty and grace, and is a source of inspiration for me, every day….but really, it’s the rockin’ bod that takes the cake. Let’s be serious now about our priorities here. Duh.)

Wee-H asks: Would you go out with Mr 95% if you had a lot of ‘fun’?

There’s absolutely no harm in dating someone, even if he doesn’t exactly “fit the bill” for what you think you are looking for. Honestly, just because you date him, doesn’t mean you have to marry him. If the other 5% never comes around, well, at least you know. And you had the experience and know more about what you’re looking for. If it does? AWESOME! Just think, you never would have had it if you didn’t take a chance. Like my mamma always told me, “the answer is no until you try.” Just remember though, that you need to know when to cut bait when/if its not working…or going anywhere.


Trigger asks: …favorite lip gloss?

See above. GO BUY NOW. You’ll thank me later. I even put a fresh coat on, in honor of this question and my love for it.

Valerie wants to know my thoughts on the age old debate: do you prefer smooth or crunchy peanut butter?

Creamy when it’s on celery topped with raisins and I make one of my fave childhood snacks in the world (ants on a log), crunchy when its on PB&Js.

What celebrity do you have an inappropriate crush on?

Maybe its because I just watched the Rock of Love 2 reunion show, but I’ve gotta say Brett Michaels.

Inapproriate? Yes.

Do I love him? Hell yes. Hiiiii-yoooooo.

glamouras152 asks: Would you ever consider not being an anonymous blogger?

OOOOHHH. This one took me a long time to answer. Truth? If a book deal came a knocking? Yes, I would think long and hard, and probably forgo the annonymity.

Since we all know that probably isn’t going to happen (even though I WISH IT WOULD) Maybe someday down the road I will, but for now…with the things I talk about, its easier for me to stay anonymous. Never say never, though. ;)

Also, as a sidenote, I there are quite a few bloggers who know my identity; once I get to know you and we strike up a relationship, I sometimes open up and share who I am. In fact, that’s how I’ve made some AMAZING friends who have been there for me and understood when other simply could not.

However they’ve sworn secrecy to me, and we all know hell hath no fury like a pissed off Barbie, so they SHALL REMAIN MUM UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH. Ahem.


rs27 asks: What is you favorite blog with the word “beard” in it? Just asking. Oh, oh, bonus question. When Mattel made the Barbie dolls do you think Barbie was short for something? Like Barborriella?

You know, there’s this total stud, and I kinda have a bloggy crush on him. He has a totally awesome taste in music and he makes me laugh. Everyday. I hate that he lives alllll the way across the country, because well, I AM his Mrs. Steve Rudy, and the distance is hurting our relationship. I mean, it’s kinda hard for me to sit out on the front porch, and have him admire me from like, 3,000 miles away. So really, honey…lets work on that, shall we? ;)

Also, history note: because I like to Wikipedia the shit out of everything, here is a history on Barbie. And because I love you all, here is her biography (which, apaprently, she has one. Awesome.)

Barbie’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. In a series of novels published by Random House in the 1960s, her parents’ names are given as George and Margaret Roberts from the fictional town of Willows, Wisconsin. Barbie has been said to attend Willows High School and Manhattan International High School in New York City, based on the real-life Stuyvesant High School. She has an on-off romantic relationship with her beau Ken (Ken Carson), who first appeared in 1961. Like Barbie, Ken shares his name with one of Ruth Handler’s children. A news release from Mattel in February 2004 announced that Barbie and Ken had decided to split up, but in February 2006 they were back together again.

No, You may not call me Millicent. Or Millie. Dude, wasn’t that the name of one of the three witches in Sleeping Beauty? Anyway, I digress. There you go. Now you know where Barbie’s namesake came from. (Although I can state for the record, that Ken and I DID NOT get back together February of 2006. Although I love that there was a press release about it.)

Andrea inquires: whatever happened to Nashville? do you all still talk?

Oh Nashville, my beloved Rockstar. Yes, we still talk, and yes we’re still really close. In fact, he called me yesterday. We’re kinda like Heather and Brett Michaels. Except for that whole I’m not a stripper thing, and he doesn’t’ have long blond hair. We are friends, with benefits, who genuinely love and care about each other.

Anyway.

Yes, we still talk, and he’s coming to visit this summer, which I’m looking forward to.

Magda asks: Why did you start blogging? Are those reasons the same as why you keep it up now?

I began blogging when I started working at the evil empire. I somehow stumbled upon Clink’s blog, and was all like, OH MY GOD SHE’S THE COOLEST I WANT TO BE HER. I emailed her, she (luckily) didn’t think I was a creeper, and the story of us is here.

I’ve always loved writing, and its always been an outlet for me. I write better than I talk. Expressing my feelings, anyway. So to answer your question, I began writing for me; the comments, friendships and support I’ve received as a result of it? That is an added bonus (WHICH I AM SO THANKFUL FOR.) I still write for me, and am amazed that people actually come back, day after day to read what I have to say. Really…I’m floored. But at the end of the day? Writing is cathartic process for me…and if I can help someone out there, who might be going through the same thing? I think that’s just awesome.

Jamie asks three things (!!!): What is your favorite outfit ever? If you could meet anyone alive or dead who would it be? Want to go shopping with me? )

1. Favorite outfit ever: y’all are gonna laugh now. But its true. My alltime favorite outfit was one I wore back in the early nineties. I was like, ten, or something. Good lord, did I love that thing. What was it? Well, it was a white long sweater, with gold trim on the neckline and sleeves, and on the front had gold hearts on it. It was a sweater dress, and had white leggings to go with it. Mi Madre and I searched high and low for matching shoes, and I finally found THE PERFECT PAIR: gold sam & libby flats (with the bows).

Don’t even act like your not jealous. I was a FASHIONISTA, bitches.

OKAY. Fine. As of late, I really love my Paige Denim Jeans, with a totally bitchin pair of heels, and my flimsy, body hugging navy blue turtleneck from JCrew….paired with my diamond earrings. Simple, yes. Classic, yes. Totally me? Yes.

2. There are SO MANY people that I would love to met and pick their brains, but honestly the first person that came to mind was Jackie O. Seriously. I want to go shopping with her. I think it’d be so intersting to hear all of her tales from her travels as the first lady. And of course, dish with her, and get her REAL thoughts on that bitty, Marilyn. For reals, yo.

3. YES we can go shopping, tell me when and where, and I will be there. With bells on.

Z asks: What type of art (or “art” ;) do you have on your walls? Photography, paintings by lesser known artists (or well known ones, who knows?), reproductions, cross-stitch, etc? And, if money were no object, what kind would you have?

Ooooh! Interesting question! Right now, I currently have a mix of things, in my family room I have two cool glass like mosaic things from Tarjhay that fits the room’s color scheme perfectly, as well as a framed watercolor I did in High School (it was featured in the art show. I iz artiste.)

In other rooms, there are collections of black and white photography, and I am currently awaiting a piece from the ever so talented Each. She’s talented, y’all. I also have my eye on this print….because I love it. And the entire collection. Pretty cool, huh?

And, if money were no object, I would love to fill my house with Impressionistic paintings. Real ones. I just love them. Oh, and I love black and white photography. I think its beautiful.


Caz asks: I’d like to know why you remain an anonymous blogger? I’m also somewhat anonymous but don’t really know why I’ve chosen to stay like that.

Honestly, right now I’m just not quite ready to put myself ALL out there. I think that being anonymous helps me to be so open, and unguarded about what I write. Its scary, opening up and putting all your innermost thoughts and feelings out there on THE INTERNET for anyone to read. Anymore though, I think I’ve become pseudo-anonymous. (Which is explained above).

My lovely Cici, IBFF, Facebook Wife and of the Tortious fame asks:

Dear Barbie, When I come to Boston this summer, will you pick me up at the airport? And, how will I know it’s you? Would you be willing to wait for me with a yellow rose clenched in your teeth? Love, tortious

Dear Tortious,

In addition to having a yellow rose clenched in my teeth, I will also be wearing a tshirt that has your picture on it, emblazoned with an “I HEART CDP” on the back.There may also quite possibly be an orchestra, as well as a cameraman to document the visit that is sure to be, epic.

Love,

Barbie

Franks asks: Do you like kittens? I think they’re the bestest thing.

Oh Frank. I’m so sorry, but I’m a dog person.

Though, I will agree though that kittehs are adorable, and for the record, this is one of my favorite sites.

BloggingKate asks: Are you getting paid to blog?? And if so, how did you get this gig??? I’d love to know

Le Sigh. No, I’m not getting paid to blog BUT I AM TOTES NOT AGAINST THIS IDEA SO IF YOU KNOW OF ANY OPPORTUNITIES I’M ALLLL FOR IT. Seriously, I love to write. And getting paid for writing? Dream. Come. True.

If anyone out there knows? Please inform me. Because really, the world needs more BB in its life. (YEP! That was for you, Mr. Anonymous commenter “you’re the most narcisistic person in the world.” You’re welcome.)


B2G asks: Who’s your celebrity girl-crush and why?

Mandy Moore. I thinks she’s awesome. Classy, intelligent, talented, and just seems like an all-around good person. Love. Her.

tipptalk asks: What is your favorite childhood memory?

There are two that immediately came to mind, so I’ll go with those: being curled up next to my mom, breathing in the sweet scent of her perfume as she read to me before I went to bed every night, and going to feed the ducks with my grandpa.

PiecesofMe has lots of questions! She asks: What is your “number?”; What is it about you that makes you so popular with the boys? Favorite book?

1. eight six seven five three ohhhhhh niiiiiinnnnne. Oh wait. That’s my girl Jenny.

…Unlisted. ;) (Yes, I’m well aware of what you were really asking)

2. What is about me that makes me so popular with the boys? Hmmm, I’ll take that as a compliment. I really don’t know…I’m just…me. Maybe that’s it? My genuineness? And the fact I’m awesome, helps too, I suppose. (I know, my wit is just an added bonus to the awesomeness that is BB)

3. I’m going to go with: Where the Red Fern Grows, Atlas Shrugged, or the Giving Tree. All excellent books.


Tia asks: how famous is “the rockstar”? would we know him/his band? dying to know! (and Semichrmd adds: Tia totally stole my question about the rockstar, please do tell.)

He’s known, but not Bret Michaels known. Depending on the region you live, you might know of his band, and some of the music he’s produced you would DEFINITELY know. Feel free to email me, and I will point you in the direction of his AMAZING music. And send you to a show. You’ll like it. I promise. (Right, Pie?)

Also, what’s your favorite magazine (only because I am a total magazine freak!)

I adore In Style…and Mental Floss.

Searching for THE ONE asks: oh easy…favourite brand of shoes? and how many barbies did you have growing up?

Someday I will own a pair of Christian Louboutins.But for the day to day? BCBG pumps are great, and you can ALWAYS find a great pair of shoes at Nine West.

As for Barbies…ohhh there were a lot. Remember those cardboard underbed boxes they sold back in the day? I had three of them. All filled with Barbies. And accessories.

I think its safe to say, I liked Barbie.

heatherdc asks: Curious about two things: the ‘rockstar’ (of course, haha) and the *hot roomie*. questions have probably already been listed about both, but just throwin it out there! )

Oh darling, you’re not the only one…hopefully I answered your questions above! xo, b


Jennie asks two things:: Will you ever give a full explanation of what happened between you and M/Asshat? I know he had some emotional/mental problems going on, and that it lead to some sort of infidelity. How did you find out? How did you break up with him?

2. Based on your experience with this, do you feel torn about having feelings for your roommate? I have been in both situations too…having a crush on someone who has a girlfriend, and being the girlfriend who is always worried about her boyfriend. How do you reconcile them?

Jennie, I’ll be honest, I struggled with the answer to this question. So badly I wanted to put it all out there, what he did to me…the real, full story of what happened, so women could learn from it. But knowing him, he’d find it and shit would hit the fan or something, because he is spiteful. And very, very sick. And I don’t ever want to have to hear from him or even look at him again, so suffice it to say this: Our entire relationship was lies; past marriage(s!!!) I never knew about, cheating, the online personal ad accounts, the craigslist postings and responses for explicit acts that are just too sickening to go on to here (and make me want to vomit) and now, looking back, makes me thankful for the lack of action that was going on in OUR bedroom (read: zilch).

He kept a side of him hidden…a dark, and twisted side…that makes me fear for any girl who gets tangled up in his manipulations and lies in the future. And he’s been doing it for so long, he’s become an expert at it. What he did to me, he had done to others before me; its a pattern, and unfortunately, from what I’ve seen/heard, he’s still following that pattern. If you really want the full story, I will email you and explain, but I just don’t think it right to air all the grimy details on the Internet. I hope you can understand.

As for your second question, the feelings that I have for my roomie are strictly those of friendship, which I’ve spoken out about, above. As for the other part to your question? I don’t really know. I think that each situation, like each person is different…and all one can do is use their best judgment.

Melanie asks: I’m coming to Boston this summer for the 3rd time. I’ve done a trolley tour to see the sights. I’ve been to a few bars in the Cambridge area. I’ve done some shopping downtown. If I only had time to do one really awesome/fun thing, what would you recommend? A particular bar? A touristy type attraction? A certain street for shopping? I’m coming for 3 days for a friend’s graduation so I’ve got 2 days to do some fun things with some gals.

One thing? Because good food is tres important, march your sweet ass down to the North End, and have dinner at a place called Lucia’s. It is amazing. Must. Go. There. Trust. ( I recommend splitting the Tricolore pasta dish. DIVINE.)

Katelin wants to know: are you coming to california any time soon? ) what is your favorite flower? and favorite song of right now?

Oh mai goodsnez! Lots of questions! As for Cali, it’s not currently in the plans, but I’ve never been to LA, and would love to go. Also, I was in San Fran when I was super little, but I have friends out there who have been trying to get me to visit and it’s high time I should. I jsut need to save up a bit (read: recover from the BAJILLION weddings I’ma ttneding) and that is definitely on my list of places to visit. Also, I’m totally not against starting a “Bring Barbie to Cali” fund. Just thought I’d throw that out there.

Favorite flower? Well, I hate the smell of flowers (I do.) butI do LOVE the look fo them. As for my favorite, I’m going to go with peonies. I think they are so pretty. And just so…happy.

Favorite song? Currently, and this could change at a moment’s notice, “Heavenly Day” by Patty Griffin.


poodlegoose asks: What songs are on the Rockstar’s cd? Have you said before? If so, sorry… but it intrigues me.

I have not said so before, explicitly, but I have cited some of his music. Email me, lady :)

bebcry asks: What are you going to name your future children? (and also adds: “And asshat is a fucker and you totally deserve to be where you’re at right now. You even got me all optimistic and shit. I just asked about babies.” which i thought needed to reitereated. crys? love. you.)

Oooooh! I love thinking about this. In no particular order, some names I like, off the top of my head…

Girls: ava, addison, ann, bria, brita, blaire, dagny (yes, after my fav woman herioine in atlas shrugged), emma, ella, ryan, peyton, grace, brooke, claire, harper, hadley, grier, quinn, tinsley (i know. I KNOW. but i like it for some reason!), macall

Boys: benjamin, benton, carter, parker, jackson (jack), maxwell (max), scott, grant, graham, wesley, davis, pierce, ryder, joshua, samson

Janice asks: where do you see yourself in 10 years?

In ten years, I’ll be turning 35. I see myself happy, with a loving husband, owning a house and raising a little family. Doing some event planning on the side, but being ht best wife, mother, friend and daughter I can be.

Cookie cutter? Perhaps….but its what I want. Then again, who knows what the future may hold. What is that they say? Want to make God laugh, make plans?

amanda asks: what color is your car? & if it could be any color, what would it be?

Its currently gold/beige…but I’m really digging a navy, or silver, depending on the car.

jenBun: I would like to know… who’s on your “List”– the ten (or whatever #) famous people with whom you get a “free pass” to do whatever your naught desires may dictate?

Ooooh. I like this question. Matthew McConnaughey, George Eads, Adrian Grenier, Tyrese, Mark Wahlberg, Ryan Reynolds, Boris Kodjoe…just to name a few.

flipsflopsintherain says: another long-time lurker, admiring your writing style — and also your motivation to post almost every day! how do you DO that??

I think I just have a lot to say, and want to get it out, so I can deal with whatever is on my mind, and move on. (Also, the irony of this statement is not lost on me, after having not posted in two days. But come o now, I’m usually pretty good about it.)

Whew! That was a lot about Barbie! Still with me? Gooood for you! Gold stars alll around!

Alright, I’ll be going now. (And yes, this post is totally worthy of like, two or three days of posts. So you might not be seeing me till like, Thursday. kthxbai.)

xo, bb
