Well there they are. I finally did it for those of you who challenged/tagged me. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but I think my list is much more boring than all of the one's I have read on other peoples blogs. I am not going to tag anyone for the same reason I don't forward very many emails. If you want to do the list... just do it! It was kind of fun....
