Looks like you're getting things squared away with Movable Type 3.x. You had three things on the above lists that surprised me: SpongeBob?! I would have never guessed. A Palm user. Hmm. I love my laptop (an iBook), but never had much success with handheld PDAs. Techno-geek that I am, I still use a Moleskine notebook and the Hipster PDA. A PT Cruiser — proving once again that Catholics “think different”. Cool Alicia!
Oh, Alicia!!!!! I *live* in East Anglia!!! Why don't you come visit me here??!!?? If I'd known you liked East Anglia, I would've invited you to come for my baby's birth last December (except I would've invited you for November, when she was supposed to be born!).
But seriously, if you can handle the chaos that is my life...and I'm sure you could....I'd love to have you come. You can do a lot of sight seeing from this area, too! We even have an extra car for just such occasions.
I'll do the five things. Tomorrow.
