31's good. I was quite surprised by how many things I've done...or am planning to do in the next month. Sweet lovin!

I got 32, so it looks like I beat you by one.

This is a great list. I plan on doing this myself tomorrow--if I remember. My favorite is Carousel. :) I had no idea! That's great. You should make (most of) these your bucket list.

Sandy, I am thinking about throwing you a shower in Utah the Monday morning after Di's Wedding. I know you have a ten o'clock appointment, so maybe we could just meet at MiMi's for breakfast like at 8:30 and just visit, give gifts, and maybe play a short game or two if time permits. What do you think? The event I mentioned to you earlier that might be happening that day I am thinking of doing Friday night instead. Let me know. p.s. I was fired from my Alaska job. They were mad when they heard I had been planning to quit in like a week, so they fired me and my friend, Toni on the spot. Rude.
