LOL! Crazy people. I think I need to make a guardian spirit of mp3 files.

And of those million and one tubes of chapstick I've lost. They could certainly do with a guardian spirit.

Amen. I've lost so many tubes of chapstick. Chapstick, hair clips, hair bands. It's ridiculous!

I like pickling! particularly beets, although they do smell up the house!

Ugh, beets!

But I love my mom's nice sour dill pickles. =)
