Very fun way to start the day reading the blondies. Next time if you want, I’d love to join the party! Let me know.
Wanda, this was Hi-fuckin-larious (see, Carlin haunts me, too!) Also, it was creatively BRILLIANT! Thank you for pushing me, even though it was painful. I bow to you, your Highness.
just wondering if I should be considering you an HBO writer as opposed to a Lifetime writer….hahaha luv ya!
Wanda, I loved this!!
