SHHHHH, only ten days until #58 for me......
I don't know if I'm more jealous about the maid or that McD's and KFC deliver! That's craziness!
You obviously have too much time on your hands if you can sit down and answer all those rediculous questions!
Actually answering these questions took a fraction of the time it takes me to come up with an original post.
Hi Shannon. This is Kim in Frankfurt. Your oven is JUST big enough to fit 1 cookie sheet, unless you're lucky enough to get one of the new ovens they've been installing when the old ones go kaput! When do you get to Germany?
