So, does this mean you are a Mad Men watcher?
Is it seriously not the best show EVER?

Tina said...

No, not a mad men watcher. I enjoyed the one episode I watched, but it didn't suck me in, thank goodness.

It's funny, some of this very much seems like you, and some of it is not at all like you! Like, I don't think you put on facades at all!
Oh, and, for the record... I AM proud of you and all of your accomplishments. You are now, and have always been, one of the strongest and most amazing women I have ever known!
