I'd rather have you, Max, and Corey here in Austin all winter long too! If you need to get away from the extreme cold, you have a place to stay in Austin.
What is it about Tyra that makes you want to love/hate her at the same time? Love ANTM too.
This is some great stuff.
This was surprisingly enlightening, considering I've known you for 27 years.
I loved reading your "jobs you'd rather have" (you would be fantastic at any of them, and I want to hear more about the images one...) and I never knew you watched ANTM. It's captivating in the worst possible way.
I'm all over this tag. I've been hoping someone would get me!
Yay! You did it! This was really fun to read because there are so many things I could've chosen but didn't. Like Robin Hood! How many times have we watched/quoted that movie?
You've hissed your last...Hiss!!
Isn't it interesting how the "Janitorial Services" job keeps popping up? And how you all loved it? I hope you never force anything like that on your kids!
Today I flipped on The Tyra Banks Show, where they were talking about all things gyno and dropping female words you never hear on TV. Tyra was hugging a girl in stirrups, in the gyno office, as she was getting over her extreme fear of the gyn. I would have called you if it was on any longer.
I fulfilled your wishes, dear.
