I didn't think I'd be able to have children, and this level of blessing is something I can't even put my finger on.

• I get scripts all the time, but I read this [Baggage Claim] thoroughly, and I loved it. It was light hearted, cute, sweet, and funny.

And I don't like plays made for the screen. But, this one, "Suddenly Single", caught my attention.
