<div style="text-align: center;">Hey guys. So, I'm featured in the knowledgeable and fabulous (sincerely) Imogen's "Stylish Thoughts" series over on <a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2011/05/stylish-thoughts-day-in-life-too.html" target="blank">Inside Out Style</a>. It's an interview of yours truly, complete with my sorry attempt at humor, some photos, and the best part of all: Imogen's fantastic blog.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't say enough about Imogen and her fashion/style insights and example. I'm very very honored that she asked me to do this. So you should (yes, that's an order...and I hope you all obey better than my puppy and 2-year-old) head over there and hang out for awhile. Which won't be hard. You won't be disappointed--there's something for everyone. She's awesome. And Australian. Enough said.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Monday night!</div>

I feel like I could do anything today, if I'm being honest with you. Anything at all.

Did it work? Does it sound like a way awesome thing to do? No? Drat. Well, the good news is that I actually DID take that book to the public library on accident, which means my son will be able to graduate 1st grade. *phew*]</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">[Assistant Editor's note: What Editor is failing to tell you all is that, embarrassing as this most recent book/library mixup might sound, it's not NEARLY as embarrassing as the time we "returned" library books into a local video rental return slot...and then accused the library of screwing up their record-keeping because we specifically remembered returning them into a drop box.
