Update: 40 Things Before I'm 40

(Posting this pic of my sweet boy Indy from 2 winters ago, because it's a fav (he looks so happy and he's got a "beard") and because I woke up to just a dusting of sneaux this morning which he will want to play in later.)

schmolly, you're doing awesome on your list!!! yay for you! you're inspiring me to consider doing another list. i failed so miserably on my last one that i'm not real motivated for a new one. but seeing all your pretty lines scratching things off is pretty darn tempting :)
