Sunday Song time! My Justin Timberlake infatuation is well-known among my close friends. Love his voice, love dancing to his songs, LOVE his SNL skits, and even respect his foray into acting. In fact, my crush is so out in the open, my husband gave in and took me to see the SexyBack tour when it...
