Kassie might kill me for this, but I’m so excited that she’s blogging again, I’m totally going to pimp her blog. You should go read it because she’s smart and crafty (as in, she makes bead jewelry, not that she’s sly…although she can be that too) and hilarious and opinionated and kind.

Kassie became my friend by marriage. She met my good friend Joe in college and married him a few years later. That is how she entered my world. But in one of those rare occasions of pure grace, she is not only my friend Joe’s wife; she is my friend too, one with whom I can happily spend hours talking without ever once feeling awkward or running out of topics.

In case you’re not convinced, here’s part of her Blogger profile:

About Me

I cannot be summed up in 1200 characters but go ahead and judge me by my pop culture likes and dislikes, books, movies, music, and my overuse of the glorious exclamation point.

You’ve written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

Why would I avoid that? I look forward to having a crew of syncophantic minions to meet my every need, possibly including an anesthesiologist to put me to sleep at night.

Go forth, and Bravely Obey. (Tell her I said hello!)
