BRAIN FARTS....

Yep, that's right lately I have been having a bucketload of brain farts. Some of you may be wondering...but no, they are not painful. It just means that I have written several things to post and when I stop and re-read them they totally suck and what the F*** was I thinking?!?!?!!!!

I was going to post one of those infamous "100 Things You May Not Know About Big Mama" but to be perfectly honest I can't even think of 100 things. That's sad and I'm still working on it. I wrote an entire rant that was rambling and totally incoherent. Of course there are always pics to post, everyone loves pics.... Mine have been really lame lately... So needless to say I am at a loss as to what to write and what to post. Hence I am having brain farts. I have a good idea, I am going to continue to blurk and comment on your blogs but for the time being, I am going to take some time off to regroup.

It's not you, it's me...*heavy sigh*
