And YES, I did compare her to Tiger Woods--meeting Donna Downey was like ME golfing with Tiger Woods in the masters! No mind you ladies, I don't GOLF! I scrap! Meeting her was like a breath of fresh air... We shared a smoke, I tried my hardest to get her to spill the beans as to the classes she will be teaching at Magical Memories in the spring of '07 but NO go! I hate secrets--so i willl secretly admit that I have 6 spots reserved for me & all of my girlies and HAVE no clue what she will be teaching, how is that for lame?? Hey if Donna is teaching it, it will ROCK, cause SHE does! hugs to you gf!
