I noticed that one of your goals was to make a pie from scratch. I have a wonderful and easy pie recipe. If you're intrested, hop over to my LJ and let me know. It's Apple Pie, homemade from scratch.
This is a fabulous list. I wish you the best of luck in accomplishing everything.

Maybe this Summer or Fall you guys can come up to the Natural History Museum in Cleveland! I haven't been there in years and I *might* be able to get discounts from my boss who used to work there! Let me know :)
