  11. Aren't sisters a funny thing? Mine always just asks for bike parts (a $500 leather bike saddle imported from england? really?) but I'm one of those people who has a hard time buying presents that I personally don't think are awesome...

    And as for the yurt, I can really see my sister getting into that!

  12. Jo! HOW could you keep the honeycomb necklace a secret from me? I mean, it has my name written all over it. That's it, we're fighting.
