(I have to apologize to you all. My laptop pooped out on me again and I wanted a few more items up on my blog. So I ventured onto my husband's monster of a computer. For this particular blog, you know how I always say this is your blog? Well the James Franco picture of him in a pink bathrobe was for me. For me and MY BLOG! And you but mostly for me. And although there are about a million other hot pictures of him, I do not know this computer well enough to upload. Tony even tried. The gods of hot men in my blog are sleeping. So I will try later. You cannot mention James Franco without a picture. In fact, I put my hand up to be the photographer for the book of his memoirs. We can start anytime James) ;)
