And I did it whilst wearing my favorite dress and high heels, too.

Three names I go by: 1. Amy Beth. 2. AB, but I prefer ABB mainly because AB implies that I have good abdominal muscles.  FALSE. 3. Um… I need some more nicknames, obvs. Three jobs I’ve had in my life: 1. Shop girl at The Body Shop (an “earthy” version of Bath and Body Works). [...]

Friday night spent at home.  Pizza provided by me; dessert provided by Clay; DVDs provided by Cate.  Two trips to Wal-Mart to buy Monopoly.  Three hour game.  Victory?  Me, by a landslide. Obviously.
