Came to check out your blog to maybe learn a little more about you--and nearly choked to death on my own laughter thanks to this post.<br /><br />You, my friend, are a fabulous writer. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-6499813300646429172012-03-09T18:55:24.958-08:002012-03-09T18:55:24.958-08:00I thought #1 was bad.

Then another round of laughter hit me and knocked me to the floor. But I got back up because I needed to finish reading this post, darn it. And you ended it quite appropriately describing that whole, "delete your darling" feeling. Yeah, now about that lunch? I'll certainly join you but I guarantee I'll keep the story moving, provide conflict or at least stick my toe in the conflict and play a part in the conversation because there's no way I'll be the "done-gun darling" lol!!!Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-29446167563782548382012-03-09T13:03:40.118-08:002012-03-09T13:03:40.118-08:00Hi, Brodi.
