Dear Readers,

Just a heads up...I'll be on hiatus until Wednesday as I move cross-country! To where you ask? Oh, just the middle of nowhere. I'm told that I won't have cell phone service or television at my future home...but I will have wireless internet! Thank the good Lord, and Grey's Anatomy on iTunes, and espn.com for live stats, and perezhilton.com...

Keep the letters coming, and I'll post em as soon as I can! And this is not to say that Marie won't be around to keep you entertained. :)

Love,
Katie
