Top of the Blog: VIP CREW Sitting on the sofa, drinking a soda and watching TV I was planning to relax for a few hours before bed. I found myself thinking of Ellen and smiled. I could picture her lying on her couch covered in a blanket and watching a movie, wondering why she'd come up with the stupid idea to send me away for the night. The blinking light on our answering machine caught my eye and I was reminded to check the messages. My parents were away on a vacation as well so no one had checked them in almost a week.
