Comments
Just think of it this way: you became a mother-in-law and a grandma before me. You can share your wisdom with me when my kid gets married and has a baby (but not until after the PhD, please!)
Just trust in Sima and Bunny to help you accomplish what you want to in 2009!
i love the IJD section.. "It's dead Jim." :) I can just hear it in my head as such - very nice!
Except for what it represents, the IDJ section is one of my favorites, too! I wish Hallmark would come out with a Christmas ornament that said "He's dead, Jim." That one would never get packed away after Christmas! (Let me tell you how much I had to restrain myself to pack away this year's communicator ornament!)
