beth (biggeek) I don't think the blog picture looks anything like you! I never thought you were anorexic (sp) You are an old soul! It's great to live with your parents but on your own is better. I like the list. I could only come up with 81!

For some reason I could not get your blog refreshed in my favorite list. So, I had fun reading all your back entries. The last one I read was Nov.17..... Love those new mittens. I just won the Magnificent Mittens book on Ebay last week. Just got it in the mail today. Can you tell me the name of some of the yarns yuo use for your mittens. I never heard of the brand they list in the book. Hoping to start some after the Christmas holiday.

Your list is great!
How come your dad doesn't make Rice Krispie Treats anymore?

You know, I never thought about the Mona Lisa being any bigger or smaller than I had imagined, but it would make sense that it is smaller than most people think. Someday, I'll see it, and then I'll have to email you right away and tell you if I think it is any smaller than I thought it would be...

Hey!
I just found your blog, and I think it's great! How can I steal your button? I don't know how to put buttons on my blog, but would like to put yours on. Thanks!
