    It’s cool that you know what a die cut is.

    Ha – I can relate to #64. My whole poor suitcase of scrapbooking stuff has been sitting forlornly in my basement for like 2 years! Dangit.

    #62 is the absolute best. Go to Whiritoa on the Coromandel Peninsula. Some of the best days of my life were spent there. You will not regret it.

    My first reaction to your comment on my blog was, well, you are hanging out with the wrong crowd sister! :) J/K, but seriously, we grew all kinds of things (tomatoes, basil, squash, herbs) last year and my dad’s garden (in CA) is amazing. If you want to do it, you’ll make it happen. It makes you way more connected with what you eat, which is sad that most people in our society aren’t! Rob Bell has some good comments on this in his God is Green sermons. Farmer’s Markets are a good second! I’m sure Nashvegas will have these! And I read an article today by a gal who works at the Antique Market there too. Let me know if you ever go there!

    I went to Canlis for prom dinner.

    Gosh, it was a horribly weird evening. And expensive.

    I’ve wanted a bonsai tree ever since falling in love with Mr. Miyagi.

    I think you have some really wonderful Living Big ideas.

    So, like, I noticed that “going to the Montrose High School 10 year reunion” wasn’t on your list. What’s up with that? ;-)
