Happy Friday! I have SUCH a busy day today, everything from getting a skin cancer full body check from a dermatologist (I’m just being pro-active, nothing to worry about. But be proud of me!), to buying boots, to returning a $10 item to Best Buy that is going to take me over an hour to drive there and back. But TEN DOLLARS! Anyway, wait for my “And Play” comment this week, just in case I am running a little late.
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna! Yes, it is terribly flawed, we can spend the whole time talking about how we would fix it and admiring costumes. It’s on Netflix, at 3pm Chicago time I will say “And PLAY” and we will all watch along from there!
