How about Matthew McConaughey serving you the coffee in the drive-thru! :)
Alli! I'm so excited you are in week 2. I'm pretty sure we met at CJ's in Portland this summer! (If not you totally remind me of an Alli I met there!) Looking forward to seeing you again.
Yeeaah! Another week two'er. Can't wait to meet you!
How fun are you!!!...and Matthew McConaughey...totally a guilty pleasure.. :)
Alli*,
Looking forward to meeting you in week two! I live in San Angelo, you are going to be so jealous, Matthew has a ranch right outside of town and him and his brother Rooster are at the bars here in town periodically! He is way hotter in person! haha! see you in Feb!

Alli - I'm sorry I won't meet you too!!! But I love reading these profiles! I too have NO math brain and love Dave Matthews way too much. Someday he will bust me for my slideshow music, I'm sure..... Have fun at week 2 - deb
Alli- I didn't know who Matthew is so I googled him...oh I understand now. I wouldn't be able to eat;) See ya in week two!
Alli- I only have seen Matthew from a far at the UT foot ball games. And he's good looking up in those stands!
Alli- Have you noticed how many southerners are going to be in week 2? Ok, you are an HONEST girl to admit that you pick your nose! I laughed so hard, way too funny!! Looking forward to meeting you.
By the way Alli...okay..so when I was in college..I here is how my math classes went...mind you this is over the course of the 5 years it took me!

College Algebra- B

Math Modeling- D
Stat - D
Stat - D
Stat - D
* Finally by the grace of GOD, my dept. head said.. "Melissa...we think its best that you not take any more math classes...lets just waive that requirement for you..." I stressed out so bad the 2nd time I took Stats that I got SHINGLES! So girl..Im feelin you on the math thing....shesh! I am so sad we wont get to meet!
When I read that you picked your nose... I rolled... LOL. Now you will know why everyone will rather hug you at Love Affair then shake your hand, LOL.
Also... I think Matthew is hot as well. If you could bring him to Love Affair we might make an exception on the whole girls only thing, LOL.
Can't wait to meet you in february... it's going to be a blast!
How funny.... I have the urge to respond to each one of you, but that could be a book! Anywho... yes. Me and Matt McC.... kinda funny that I put that because the last thing I ever thought of myself is that I was a celeb stalker and that would be the ONE person I would want to have dinner with. There is just something to that man for me --- is it the southern swagger to him? I dunno... but he is intriguingly HOT to me. Starla - I think I am coming for a visit. His brother's name is Rooster!?!? Now, that is funny!
Ha! And the pick my nose thing! I giggled at myself for putting that, but hey sometimes the need arises and other than that I am pretty much an open book. ;)
Melissa - those were my exact math grades in college too!
Girls, I can't wait for week 2! I like this questionnarie thing. I am looking forward to reading about everyone else as well. :)
I don't want to make you gals jeoulous but before I was a photographer I was a manager at Fox Photo in Austin and well...I've developed Matthew McConaughey's film. Granted, it wasn't anything too exciting...shots of himself at the City of Austin Powerplant. Him naked playing the bongos would have been a whole lot more exciting! Oh, he put "Matt Mac" as his name on the order bags and we weren't allowed to oooh and aaah over him but thank goodness I worked in the back b/c we did!!!
Alli*,
haha............Come on down to San Angelo, TX and we can stalk Mr. Matthew. I am up for it anytime!!! See ya in Feb! Yeah..... all this posting messages is getting me so pump for this workshop.....not only to learn some cool stuff about photography, but i am such a people person, i just can't wait to meet everyone there!!
Hey Alli!! I cant wait to meet you in week 2! Im sure since your kids are close in age like mine we will have lots to talk about..like the fact that I have felt like Ive been prego for the past three years of my life! ha!
Yay - another early riser! What is it with all these night owls?? Don't they know that nighttime is for sleeping??
