3-Day Weekends

3-day weekends are a great idea. In theory. The thing about them is if you feel like you've got all this time, you schedule more. And then any extra time you had is gone, plus some more usually. And that, is how our weekend went. We went to a graduation party on Friday. One of [...]

Tag! You're it!

Ani tagged me! The idea is to pick 5 and complete the sentences, then pass this little meme on to 3 more of your blog pals! But no tag backs! I will tag …. Yvette. I'd also love to tag Meg Cabot cuz I think she'd have some pretty funny answers too.
