It's frighteningly dull in here today.

Sadly, I have nothing exciting to really talk about.

2. What are your plans for dinner?
3. If you had to choose between a life-supply of chocolate chip cookies or a life-supply of sugar cookies, what would you pick?
4. Name a knottie that makes you laugh.
5. What's the furthest from home you've traveled?
6. What was the last thing you said aloud?
7. What is/was something that you have/had to have or do at your wedding?

Lastly, I discovered this treasure today by Brimcleod. I hope it will be about designing monograms: http://bribride.wordpress.com
