D-Day: The Girdle Chronicles

It's been a while since I poured my heart out and I guess it's because I've been so busy working, I haven't had a chance to rant. Well, this weekend finally gave me the drive to get back to storytelling - especially since I pretty much lost it in a car ride home from Manhattan.
