Bravo! Amazing thread kick-off!

And may I be the first to say:

Jonny!!! Very cool opening of THE thread. Your artwork is superb. Truly. You have been blessed with a stunning gift, and I'm in awe of your talent.

Thank you for all you do for us AI fans. :)

thanks for using my quote - that was a quick way to let everyone know how much I look forward to this thread and how much everyone on here means to me (except for those who didn't like my TayTay of course - kidding!)....I have been counting the days until AI and this thread were back!!!! Yahoooooooooooooooooooo (AI is back and Bama has Nick Saban as our new coach - life don't get know better than that!) And happy new years to all......di

HAH! Yes, my husband thinks I am completely nuts for the way I am soooooooooooo hooked on AI ... and it's all your fault, SJ!! (Along with all your fantabulous cohort here!) LOL!

Wow, heck of a thread here already! Great quotes and pics ... it's so much fun to see what last year's gang has been up to! (And Jonny, what GREAT original artwork! Woohoo!)

The only problem I anticipate (for me) with AI 2007 is that I will probably be missing parts of it here and there ... because (drum roll please!) I am PREGNANT WITH TWIN BOYS! No, I am not kidding. Due to my age (older than dirt) and the fact that these are a first for me, plus other assorted factors, I am spending a lot of time on bedrest these days (hm, maybe we need to put a TV in the bedroom?), and also the boyos will be born before AI finishes up this season, so I don't know how much I'll get to see/hear this season ... oh, well, perhaps Tivo will see me through ... or how often I'll get to post. But I'll drop in here as much as possible!

Love to all the gang in da Smoky Back Room! :)
