Are you kidding? OH MY DOG. That is very very cool.
You must locate this item and post a picture of it ASAP!
HAHAHAHA! I do now recall lovingly placing it in box the day before we moved. So I know it's in the new house somewhere!
eye wub ewe
Great list Gina. You forgot "great sense of humor that makes Marsha laugh until she's red in the face".
Marsha! I found Deep 13!! Will get a picture up soon.
I love pizzelles so hard. My mom sent me some last Christmas, and even though most arrived in pieces, they still hit the spot. *sigh*
Great list :)
You're right, your house does not have a hint of cat litter box odor! I have a good nose. I love cats. I detest the smell of cat litter boxes.
hehe didn't see your 100 list until AFTER the swap...guess we did Ok anyway, right?
I don't like horror movies, either. :)
I totally would love to have you as my neighbor.
