I have the same bad habits! (Maybe that's not cause for celebration, but it makes me feel a little bit better)

I also love almond coffee--I can't find it in the store, but a few times a year, the coffee shops on campus have an almond amaretto coffee as their flavor iof the month, and I LOVE it--the perfect coffee is 1/2 regular and 1/2 almond (straight almond is too sweet). . . but alas, this week they switched over the french vanilla.

*sigh*

Glad the self tanner worked out! :)

I can't believe you called into a radio station. I can't even call for pizza. Didn't your knees shake when they put you on hold before going on the air?

I am in awe of people who can do things like that.

Oh, and I love Livin' on a Prayer too.
