But can I first point out the fact that I have learned how to hyperlink to other sites. On my own? Aren’t you proud of my computer prowess? Filling this out made me start considering how boring I really am. Sniff. I’m going to go curl up in bed and watch a Harry Potter movie.

Who am I?
Melissa, otherwise known as Mel, The Stirrup Queen, and most recently nicknamed Lollipop Goldstein, has been blogging since 2006. She keeps three main sites: Stirrup Queens, Lost and Found (LFCA), and Bridges. She also writes for BlogHer. She's known to Twitter about her wonky ovaries and you can also find her on Facebook. While you're there, you can also become a fan of Navigating the Land of If on Facebook.If you want to figure out how to navigate this site, please click here. There's a lot to process on the sidebars alone and this should help you from getting lost. If you want to know about my header and the image, click here.
She doesn't really know why she is writing about herself in third person, but you can read a lot more about her right here.
What is Stirrup Queens? It's a blog about infertility and pregnancy loss, an exploration of adoption and donor gametes, a bitch session about daily life and books, an outlet for stories and baking lessons written by a sustainable-living, kosher, Jewish, mother of twins conceived via fertility treatments who is still trying to add to her family.

I love your #2-4 movie picks! And since I love those, I'll have to see just who and what this "Jeffrey" character is.
Oh, and I was promised a boring list. Why you make lies?
Oh... and congratulations on your first hyperlink! You'll have to go buy some new shoes or go out for a swanky dinner or something.
OK ... done! :)
I have to say it--I haven't come across anyone in years who loves Elvis Costello and TMBG like I do!!! Whoopie!
Sorry, but that somehow got me very excited...LOL (especially since "Whistling in the Dark" is currently playing in the background)
Moosh
Elvis Costello is on my list, too - he's great! I like Ben Folds, too. And Harry Potter books and movies. And I also love, love, love "About A Boy," even though it didn't make my list - it could have.
