Blame the Mafia

I have a million and three things going on that I should post about. I could post about Grandma's funeral on Monday, on the beautiful things that were said and the Winnie-the-Pooh that was read. I could post about my lovely family-in-law and how fun our dinner was and how much Luke's dad and uncles are alike yet different. I could post about my brother-in-law who does amazing origami and made me a three-headed dragon out of purple paper. I could post about the job that looks official, but I think I'll wait to have a contract in had for that. I could post about searching for a condo to live in, and how exciting it is to look at a place we might own. I could post about the amazing chocolate experience that was last night. Theres just so much going on. So, I think I'll do a quiz instead. Thanks PPB and Jane!
