somehow i connected with a gal from my college days. i remember her, but have to say we ran in somewhat different circles. anyways, i enjoy reading her blog. she makes me laugh as she relates her life in real and vulnerable tales. there are so many times i find myself saying, "that is just like me!" but i'm not quite crazy enough to haul my family to 52 zoos in 52 days ! marla has written several books and does a lot of speaking to women. i admire her frankness and passion for that touchy topic: sex. so a few weeks ago she started writing about a desire for a new book. then on facebook she started asking men to answer some questions. so i guess you could say she did her research and wrote it and will be releasing it as an e-book this weekend!! she won't give me the title yet, but did allow me to ask her a few questions because i'm curious, but i had to be willing to publish her answers on my blog. since most of you know i'm rather passionate about

"i can't find my bear!" oh man...have i ever mentioned that i truly lack grace and love in the middle of the night? i pull back all the covers
