I'm having a FANTASTIC time and running into Suze (OK - chasing her while she tried to eat an ice cream) was the best part of CHA. She made me laugh out loud and introduced me to some great folks. What a fantastic day!
Suze gave me a bottle of UTTE Flex. I've been searching for it for 2 months. Now I can't wait to get home and play!

I LIKE Robin Beam! I took a class from her at Stampaway years back..she told me she originally was a lawyer. Thanks for this great blog---I was looking for one today!
