FF, I thought about joining y'all's race to lose weight this year, but after reading these comments I'm afraid I'll end up gaining! :)
Since Tech is going to send you chocolate, might I suggest you send him a gift certificate to a Chinese and/or Mexican restaurant? He's partial to that cuisine, and it's easier to send in the mail than a box of sweets.
(Sorry, Tech. That will teach you to tag me.) :)

Hey, Crystal: Dr. ER wrote to Richard Chamberlain many months ago. Just before Christmas, she got a handwritten note back! It and the envelope are framed and matted already. Made her very, very happy. :-)
ER, how very cool! That would have made me very happy, too!
Hi, author of 51313 Harbor Street. I am a fellow blogger (from the UK though) and just wondering if it is ok if I do the "7" list on my blog...I'm not sure what a "meme" is - I'm quite new to blogging.
Anyway, please let me know..
Thanks,
Lilian
Help yourself, Lilian! :)
