Me-ness
i know i’m a little weird (eccentric is for people with money) but i’ve never really considered myself or my opinion that drastically different from the mainstream. short of the bush elections, i’ve felt in step with joe and jill america. but my recent participation in the vagina monologues has made me think twice. selling […]
So, our goal for the Vagina Monologues was $6,000 for the local shelter and we raised $5,100! Not too shabby for our first time…thanks for all the support!
