  3. I can relate with the sick/preggy feeling. Wasn't sick for the whole 9 months but the first three were DIRE. I still shudder to think of them.
    Congrats on the Emmy!

  5. I love your lists. Ahhh, where would we be without Coke Zero. Especially in an energy slump about 2.30.

    Super congrats on the Emerald final. It is so well deserved and such a wonderful story. Can't wait until you bound up the podium on August.
