I could easily picture it all in my head ... even you and Nora out for your night on the town buying only what women need and crave. You should drive that bug right up here to the Pacific Northwest so you can hang out with all of us fun chicks next weekend!

I really enjoy your writing style, and loved this most recent post. I even laughed out loud at the chocolate and tampons quip. You're quite witty, and very relatable. To me, anyway, which I appreciate. I also have four sons and not an athletic bone in my body. I can Jazzercize with the best of them, though! Anyway, loved your post. Sounds like you'll have well-balanced boys who adore their mom.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015165553390298826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-81314678959069938912007-04-19T12:50:00.000-07:002007-04-19T12:50:00.000-07:00Totally agree about nerds.
