The Lifeys 2011!

Can you believe it? It's been a whole year since the last Lifeys!* Remember how you waited, tense with anticipation, for the day they would debut? Remember how you plopped down in front of your laptop with a package of microwave popcorn, some ice cream, and a handful of wine coolers? Remember how you rehashed them--what we wore, who we sat next to, how our hair looked--all week with your coworkers?

Well, it's that time again. Presenting...
