    My coworker and I were just talking about you yesterday. Ha, sounds funny, but she was telling me how she is convinced that she see’s “Hearts” in just about everything. Soups that she makes, her cereal bowl, in the sink after she brushes her teeth. So anyways, I told her that I have a blog friend who also sees shapes in her coffee everyday! 🙂 I totally thinks this means that you are truly artistic and are able to see the imagery in life. Great characteristic! 🙂

    Have a great day lady!

    I am always so heartbroken when I see all the beautiful peanut butter clinging to the sides of the empty pb jar. It never occurred to me to put food in the jar as a way to get every last bit. You are a genious.

    I bought Barney Butter “for PhillyBoy” muhhahahaah! It was a great way to justify the shipping charge! “It’s a GIFT!” Too bad he can’t find it anywhere. It might just be hiding in my desk drawer for now….
