I see doing all of these things!!
Ps. #20 cracked me up!
You could totally beat me at chess. I don't even know how to play.
Wow...looks like you need to get busy...I'll help you with Spanish...want to take a class together? You know, ALL of those things are possible...ALL of them. That is the really cool part! Let me know if you need anything. Im here to help...um...can I be invited to your Sisters weekend thing...I dont have a sister...could I be part of your sisterhood?
I do want to have a sisters weekend. I guess I just need to start an envelope for it and it's totally done. We can go to Peru and Rome. I'v wanted to go to Macchu Picchu ever since my visiting teacher went when I lived in California and I found out what it is.
Sissy's right, those things are totally doable. But you are already useful, don't you think so? I think I'm useful and I only take care of myself and sometimes my baby. I don't even have to do anything for my husband.
I think I'm just going to call you. This post is a conversation starter.
I'm sure there's something to see in Alabama.
So glad you're back in the blogging world. I rarely comment, but you can be sure I always read! I so want to canoe the Boundary Waters, too. Maybe I should start small though, and use my reusable grocery bags. We dream big around here, eh?!
