An Apology and a Tag

First of all, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I have left you, my friends, family, etc. out in the cold, dark cyberspace with not even a hint of our goings on. I'm weak. I'm only human. The truth is, that I have been a tiny bit busy. "Whatever, Katie!" you are all saying, "everyone's busy!" That's probably true, but it's really my only excuse. We've been up to our eyeballs in events, occasions, toddler shenanigans, packages to mail, dishes to clean, sickness to clean up (Ben and I were sick over the weekend) and more toddler shenanigans. We've just been busy. Oh, and I could not find a memory card for the camera. And I was reading New Moon and Eclipse. It's been crazy.

And that's my final word on my terrible blogging lately. I hope you can accept my apology and stop guilting me.

Anyway, moving right along, My loverly friend Theresa tagged me with some crazy eights tag. And I intend to answer that tag. But, I modified it a little bit because I don't have eight answers for some of the questions. And here we go:

3. The Bob Weather Shield for Duallie Strollers.
4. A Can opener that leaves a smooth edge (like this one.)
5. The A&E Version of Pride and Prejudice on DVD. (And a gazillion other DVDs, but we'll leave it at that).
6. A huge bookcase to organize and control Zach's ever expanding collection of books.
7. A really hefty pastry cutter
   
8. Shikai Borage Facial Cleanser & Face Lotion (Actually, I kinda want the whole line, but these would be a good start).

So, there you go. Because I don't want anyone to be upset with me in anyway, I'm only tagging the people that fill this description:

1. You want to be tagged
2. When you saw that I was tagged, you hoped that I would tag you
3. You weren't relieved when you didn't see your name here.

And there you have it.
