What a bummer that you can't come to Nashville! Hopefully, you'll have another opportunity to come; we really enjoy it. I hope the rest of the ladies have a good time at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. It's lovely. And, yes, there's more than country music in Music City, USA, if they're interested. ;-)

I think he might have liked you, too.

Only his mom blew it for him.

And I know, if you could take it back, you would.

So much for unrequited love.

At least, that's the way I'd have written it.

Hi Christine!!! I wish I could join the ladies when they descend on your home of Nashville in a few months, but alas, I won't be. Boo!

Adrienne, I want to go beat those people up for you!!! Naysayers.

True. The ability to take a good shot to the face is way more attractive than nice hair or cheekbones. ;-)

In contrast, Martha, I was kicked out of the girl scouts...well, I was politely asked to consider other after-school activities. Which should explain my views on the apocalypse as well.

"But at least I'm not a weak-ass narc." LOL! That was the cherry on top, Martha. (Thanks, Sophie, for posting the link on FB!)

Sweet story. And now I'm ready and waiting for the tale of your second love. Wait a sec, I'd better get some popcorn first.............

Guys, in retrospect, this story kind of explains a lot about me....yikes!

Not only was I a Brownie, I was AWESOME at it. Consider it phase A in my apocalypse training.

Juliet - I probably would have taken a liking to that firestarter guy. Something is wrong with me.

BWAHAHAH. This is so Martha, it hurts. And you are...

2010-02-17T08:34:04.306-08:00

BWAHAHAH. This is so Martha, it hurts. And you are beyond cute in that uniform and impish grin that says, "I'm gonna get you, sucka!"

2010-02-17T08:32:11.692-08:00

I love this story! My first love was my neighbor Chris Marriott. He wound up burning down his family's house, playing with matches. The bloom was off THAT rose, if you know what I mean.

Martha, Martha, Martha....you are making me laugh ...

2010-02-17T08:24:29.393-08:00

Martha, Martha, Martha....you are making me laugh so hard it hurts! of course this is your first love story. Nothing else will do!! But good lord in heaven, Martha Jane Louise, is that a BROWNIE uniform you are wearing????

Oh, God. I'm laughing out loud all by myself i...

2010-02-17T01:00:01.656-08:00

Oh, God. I'm laughing out loud all by myself in the middle of the night. Yes, you're evil, and I think I wanted a big brother like you when I was eight. Now I wish I'd been so confident myself. It's a lot easier to love well when we know and like who we are.
