Welcome to August.

I borrowed this image from Frank at PostSecret. Hope he doesn't get all huffy about it. But I loved this and with all the shit hitting the fan with my friends lately, it spoke to me in a loud and insistent manner. Go visit Frank, by the way. He is the keeper of our deepest, longest held secrets and he treats them with humanity, love and respect. He posts new secrets every Sunday. Make him part of your weekend wind-down.

Hope August is a good month, my homies. Here are your assignments: Grace, pull yourself up by your bra straps and get off the couch. No man is worth it. Hey, eb, draw me a pretty picture. Judy, stop lurking and post a comment, girl, no one will know it's you. Mel, keep hammering that treadmill, baby. And BHD, make at least one new girlfriend this month who is worthy of sharing a bottle of wine and reminds you of your gal pals you miss so much. And BJ--glad you stopped by. You should do it more often.
