My gosh, your commenters' minds sure are in the gutter! Those thoughts didn't even cross my mind ;-)

Great answers to this meme, and I can't wait to see some of your digital scrapbook! Will you come teach me to sew? Then, we can learn to cook together :-)

HI Stacey,

This book title wasn't made by someone who works with my 8th grade students, that's for sure!

I'm off to dinner with Eric. I'll try to do the "8 things..." later tonight or tomorrow. I love these kinds of lists!

Love you!!
