An appeal at noontime

For those of you following this blogathon, I make an appeal. Our purpose here is to raise money for the American Cancer Society, and Starz Above has been diligently working at this, so I’d hate to see her efforts wasted.

Hey there, Nicci here

Hello everybody. It’s me, your friendly neighborhood….blogger? Well, actually, since I don’t blog THAT often, I suppose I’m a ‘blooger’. Now, on to randomness.
