THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WAKE UP ONE MORNING AND BLOGGER DECIDES TO  CHANGE IT'S FORMAT WITH NO DIRECTIONS.. I GAVE UP FIXING IT LAST NIGHT ABOUT 2:00 A.M. Three and a half years ago My life changed a Lot when I met the Atlanta Blogging Ladies..... FINDING OTHER WOMEN THAT HAD THE SAME INTERESTS AS ME WAS SOMETHING NEW....... GETTING TO KNOW THEM OVER THE YEARS I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT AMONG THE PEEPS WERE "OTHERS" AS CRAZY AS ME..... "HOUSEWIVES" FANATICS..... YES.....THOSE HOUSEWIVES......NEW YORK.....THE O.C.......ATLANTA......BEVERLY HILLS AND OF COURSE.... THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY........
