So tell me... are you laughing in our face? Should we have way more marked off of this list than we do? (I know, I know... we need a person to bake our cake... we're getting there) Or are we sitting pretty? I know your Mama always told you not to lie, but in this case... I say it's ok. Say we're sitting so pretty :)
