I AM SO SORRY!!! Did the Blogger Gremlins sneak over here too?? OMG! Yesterday they were nasty little demons at my blog. Eating my layout - turning it black - messing up the widgets - rearranging my links...But today...today they are Gizmos..cute furry little buggers... ;o) So no worries they will be done getting all wet & sugary soon. <br /><br />Glad to see you back by the way!<br /><br /><a href="http://princesscourtneysbarr.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Visit My Kingdom Anytime</a>Courtney Barr - The Southern Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455508477182984039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-16585344102746801232010-04-13T14:27:09.610-04:002010-04-13T14:27:09.610-04:00You're so not.

Fail better. It's horrible, but when people make mistakes, I feel bad for the mistake, but I feel closer to that person--like, see, I thought J was impeccable and way out of my league, but it turns out that he is human, just like me. So, there you go. Brought me closer. Thanks for sharing the humanity :). Luckily I'm so late to the post, that nobody else will see my crazy ramblings. Glad you're back. (Are you back?)<br /><br />And, beer for breakfast would make me toss my cookies. Although I don't really like beer any time, but I would suffer through it in college for a good game of beer die (with dice, not something more sinister).

Fail better.<br /><br />Seems smart and is sort of reassuring but also seems like it needs question marks.<br /><br />I'm at my own precipice.
