So, I was indirectly tagged by the Chaotic Crafter for this, a whole ten days ago. Indirectly, because she tagged everyone, so it almost counts! ;-) I didn’t steal this meme (like all the others), I swear, Ma!

1. That’s why I tagged everyone :D

   I loved reading your list…I always like being able to nod my head at my computer screen and say “Hey! Me too!”

   I have to ask…you said you’ve learned all about chickens this year…does that include sexing them? Weird to ask, I know, but I saw it on a show once and was just kind of amazed.

   er…hope that wasn’t awkward lol
