Hi! I’m a new PC consultant as well. Are you still doing it?
Julie and Julia – ugh I hated that book. Ick ick ick. Whine whine whine.

I totally agree with you Mary Ellen…Julie and Julia the book could not have been worse. The movie however was very good…definitely go and see it!
Hi Mary Ellen! You know, to be honest I haven’t had a lot of time for PC lately. Between school and a part-time job I don’t have too much free time! I wish you the best of luck with it!
I didn’t like the Julie and Julia book either, but I think I will like the movie! I agree, there was a lot of whining! I love Meryl Streep and Amy Adams though so I think they will do well with the movie!
