[mrspunkysmom]

Yes, she is. But it's a fun headache. I look forward to this in the evenings. Gives me a reason to come online.

I diddled for an hour on my first one, not for the quote, but an easy way to change the letters to dashes. Talk about Lazy. It was easier to type in the dashes. Took me an hour to figure out that one. There are times that tech is not the solution.

Sana already chose "L"; probably got missed because she chose "n" first at the same time someone else did and beat her to it by a minute.

I want this book.
