Heh. Great list. :)
I especially like the billionaire plan. After you slept on it, I hazard to say that you would despise your good fortune a bit less.
Sorry to hear about Paul's anemia. ;) Green, leafy vegetables. That's the ticket.
Yeah, I think I could handle being a billionaire...as long as I didn't have to do my own taxes.
Paul's neck is safe--for now. Doritos just sounded too boring. ;)
LOL---"men's blood!"
That's rich!!!
Love your list as well.
Thanks for the link.
:-)
Zoinks!-- how did I miss this yesterday?
I love the billionaire plan too-- LOL.
I have the same bad habits (no surprise there...)
;)
I may have once seen you walking down the street when I was living in the clouds.
But what I most want to know is how you slip away.
:D
No problem, Chris! I can't wait for your first course. ;)
Aine, I'm sorry to hear you have a coke habit. Don't procrastinate! Get off the internet, and seek some help. ;)
As for slipping away...you should know, my fellow cloud-hopper.
:)
Loved the circular path that billions would take you on! I was born in Akron. Small world.
You drove a zoo train? That's awesome.
My sister works at the U. of Akron, Scott. I went to school at Case Western in Cleveland. Very small world, indeed. :)
It was the best job I ever had, Jaye. Not sure what to think about that...
Hi Sarah. Checked out Book Roast. Pretty exciting stuff! I'm waiting for more.
As for my absence from the blogging scene, somehow I've lost the thing for blogging. So I don't think I'm going to take to blogging anytime soon. Please do me the favor of replacing the link with some other writer's you like and think needs showcasing. I'll always backpack my way back to your blogs whenever I feel the need for safe haven. :-)
Lovely list, Sarah! :-) :-) :-)
Slip away - yeah, although I never manage to tick it as done...
Not people's love... I'm sure the people who matter are already giving you their love! :-)
Living in India would be a great adventure if you were still a billionaire :)
I agree with the zoo train driver job. Super cool!

"men's Blood"
Now I see why you loved the vampire story. :D :D :D
