8 Things

My cousin Beth tagged me a while back to do one of those get-to-know-you type blog entires, which I guess is like the updated version of those chain emails we used to get all the time that you had to forward to all your friends, change your answers, and re-forward. So I'm going to honor Beth's tag below, but I'm going to change it to include one that I found on my friend Ami's blog that I liked better:
