This totally makes my day. I have been featured, with a super-extended interview, my friends.
In other news, weather reports indicate that we should be watching for freaking snow flurries today. Last night, I checked in on the Phoenix weather for my upcoming visit, which is expected to range from a balmy 65 to an unbelievable 90+ while I'm there. The packing process has taught me that I can't quite understand what this means from my particular vantage point in frozen Chicago, as I kept setting aside sweatshirts, wool sweaters, and wool socks. Hopefully, I will meet with more success tonight as I try to repack with more tees and sandals, rather than the parkas and boots that I set aside yesterday...

Wow! Yay you!
Thanks very much for sharing this interesting post. I am just starting up my own blog and this has given me inspiration to what I can achieve.
