Note: My gravitar should be working. I swear the outfit is cute, but I have no wig. I look awkward (read: tragically beautiful) at best. ;)
P.S. Great news about your night out. :-)
I'd comment directly on your blog but a) you have to sign up with your provider to do so and b) I got a headache from the pinkness. ;-)
I know that you have to join to comment, so thanks for taking up some of your space to do so instead.
Of course you don't use gravitars. What was I thinking?!
They're gravatars - althugh when was I ever one for insisting on correct spelling.
Becky, did that entire post originate as an excuse for the "I'm not intersex" joke? ;-)
And no, the intersex joke came to me while I was writing it! I don't write entire blog posts around one joke!
Much. :unsure:
Oh bugger, just remembered I don't have graphic smileys either. :-(
