Alright. What is cool to me at this moment? Couple of things. Cinco to be exact. Project Runway Season 3. Today. Tomorrow. Always. Nivea Body Creme. Want to marry this stuff…or rub it all over myself…whatever. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Payday. As in the check, not the candy bar. Dr. Scholl’s Wart Remover. I know,…

Talked to Dad the other night about what he called the TOPs Model. Googled it to get some legit information. Could not find it. But it really does not matter. Dad is a pretty legit source.

<–Penny. Walking down the aisle. To her future. To her new husband. So beautiful. So totally cool to see a wedding this weekend. To see people my age make a commitment like that. To see, in person, love like that. To be totally and completely happy for Penny & Paul. To realize how well things…
