Thank you ladyinred! The feeling is mutual!
Lambchop?! What a great name! Is he/she as cute as his/her name?
Oh, and I wouldn't worry about the date thing, unless of course you were writing 1978 on your checks! Then I'd worry! LOL!
Oh my - now I know we were separated at birth - I love your list. The only change I would make is to substitute animals for the students/music thing. The most luxurious thing I can think of doing for myself is getting my folding chair, a small blanket, a catalog, and mocha and hanging out at a good dog show all day - from the national anthem to Best In Show!
