    Oh, I love love LOVE Gone with the Wind! Have you seen the movie? I can highly recommend the book. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am right there with you on this one: – People who leave a tablespoon of cereal (or milk, or juice) in the container and then put it back. Argh!

    Thanks for bringing your absence to my attention. I got called to be the Institute teacher for our stake a while ago, and two or so weeks ago I made a blog for my notes. When I did, my entire blog roll was erased. I could not for the life of me remember your address. Thank you!
    And I can’t believe you haven’t read GWTW. I read it for the first time when I was 11–one of my all-time faves.
    It’s not for everyone. But you really should read Jane Eyre. It’s AWESOME!

    Your kiddos leave a whole tablespoon of milk? Mine drink it completely dry and then return the container to the fridge. At least yours have some level of social grace to leave a drop or two ๐Ÿ˜€

    And, don’t let anyone guilt you about GWTW…I tried to read it twice and just couldn’t get into it. And, if people say that I must read it I think, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give …” well, you know what I’m saying ๐Ÿ˜‰
