Heidi, Heidi! Thanks for fulfilling your "duty", and I was totally with you 'til the "Dancing With The Stars" thing. My parents love that show, and so I've dubbed it a blue hair heaven view. Does it really have merit? Loved finding out more about you. Take care.
All must be quiet at your place for you to have time to post all of that!! I struggled getting mine done and I don't think I have near the schedule you do! You Go Girl!!
Morning, girls.
Donut, it was completely off the hip, done with that late night "duhhhhh" humming in the background.
Peach, I love music and the arts, and ballroom dance is something I adore. The love has been fostered even more by my little guy who also loves broadway and dance. It's a totally cool show with enough explaination to allow you to understand the dancing at a better level. Keeps me on the edge of my seat! (Now I'm wondering how big of a geek have I revealed myself to be? LOL)
Heidi,
that list says so much about you i did not know. you are awesome!
Heidi, Heidi, Heidi ... where have you been all my life! Thank you for posting on my post, because now I've found you and I am loving your blog, and we have soooooo much in common ... we really do! Books, music, birth control, Dunkin Donuts, places I'd run away to (always wanted to live in Maine -- call me crazy!), aversion to bikinis and tank tops ... Except, I'm still on the East Coast, well, because there is NO other place to live...
Now, you'll have to excuse me while I go catch up on your blog, and then update my links to include you (if that's okay?)
And hopefully, I'll be able to figure out which church your husband leads just by reading through your blog... Because, now, my curiosity is just burning!
