Well, I hoped to have something witty and fitting to say for this, the last fun-packed day of The Ultimate Blog Party. Unfortunately, I think my Maine brain has Spring fever and has flown southerer for a bit of warmth. It's either that or I'm on overload from being locked in the house for 2 weeks with coughing, needy girlies.
Either way, I'm going to celebrate my last party day with this party meme I found completed on Life as a Mama:

Held a tarantula??? UGHHHH! You're talking to a gal that's terrified of even the teeniest tiniest spider! lol that was a lot of fun going down the list to see what you had done out of all of them!! I see you touched a cockroach...what am I gonna do with you??? lol
Loved finding out what you have and haven't done, Groovy! You've accomplished some things here that I haven't...and a couple that I don't want to do! heehee
Oh, and yes...there is another way to make cookies. Nothing like popping that Nestle cookie dough onto the pan for instant gratification! ;)
Also, I wanted to thank you for wishing my mom a happy 80th! I so appreciate that!
And I agree about the vaccinations...I think overall they have been a blessings, but lately have become overboard, so I also pick and choose.
Have a wonderful weekend! :)
Ah Pea,
I love all things science related. Yes indeedy!
Tammy, NESTLE COOKIE DOUGH?????????????
Wow, that's some list!
Your comment on my "mom talk" post during this party was hil-arious! ;)
I linked to you from PEA site because your name caught my attention in her comments. I'm definately an old lady!
Love your answers to your meme! huggles
I'm impressed. We've done many (most) of the same things, with a few exceptions on both sides. I will not willingly touch a cockroach OR a spider.
Good lust, lost of interesting things. I'd write more, but someone is insisting upno talking to em even though it's obvious I'm BUSY...
I just came here from Top Momma...I had to click your link, and come tell you to watch for mine, because I think you'll laugh when you see the picture I chose. It's VERY reminiscent of yours! (Mine hasn't come up on Top Momma yet, but it's on my blog if you want a preview....)
That's quite a list! There are a few on there that I've done that you haven't, and a lot of vice versa.
You're right about the craziness of Colorado weather - you just never know!! But it's never boring, that's for sure.
Nice post, its a Super cool blog that you have here, keep up the good work, will be back.
Warm Regards
The Snake River
