I was on my high school newspaper too, Anya, as well as on my grade school newspaper. But then I got to your figure skating mention after that and I really had to laugh because the similarities ended there. I was the world’s biggest klutz in high school and the only time I tried to ice skate it was not a pretty sight. LOL

by miladyinsanity May 3rd, 2007 at 4:14 pmThe Barn Cat Chronicles? That has best seller written all over it!
by Lauren May 3rd, 2007 at 4:31 pmI had to laugh at the tuba incident. How did that work out for you?
by scooper May 3rd, 2007 at 7:23 pmYour HS had a figure skating team? I’d never heard of that before. Sounds like fun! I was editor of my HS newspaper and played on the Women’s Hockey team in college. Funny about picking the tuba! I would have done that, too.
by Denise Patrick May 3rd, 2007 at 7:49 pmThe fact that Survivor is the only TV show you watch, which is shocking, is easily offset by rescuing 7 cats!
by Sparky Duck May 3rd, 2007 at 8:42 pm#1 made me laugh. Of all instruments, a tuba? LOL!
I lived in Wales last year and it’s cool Much less expensive than good ol’ England 🙂 I loved the countryside!
Happy Thursday!

by Rhian May 4th, 2007 at 12:02 pmLOL I cracked up with the tube incident. I worked on the high school newspaper as well.
