We have a SHIRT!

Take pics of yo’ bad self in a shirt and send the pics to me! I’ll post them on the blog…just don’t expect one of me on that new glass walk-way over the Grand Canyon !

And, please visit to support Katie who has “shirted” us.

And Carrie left this note:

More random information for you – the Bedlam mental hospital in London still exists – it is now a building called Salisbury House off London Wall and Finsbury Circus in central London and houses several law firms’ offices among other things including the London office of the company I work for! (you might say not much change there then!). Although the office parts have been altered and updated the stairwells are still much as I imagine they always have been complete with tiled walls and it is a very strange mixture of a building to walk around in.

My First Sock-Swap (or, Just Call Me Sucker).

And who wouldn’t want a Ron Weasley Cell Phone Cover?

And, FUN!
