Very good!!! great list!!
That is a great list!
I've been meaning to comment on your blog ever since you left one on mine. While I hadn't visited your blog in recent months (probably because before we adopted I pretty much stayed away from blogs with babies!), I do remember reading that you had conceived after adopting, and I honestly thought of you when this all happened to me. And wow.. I can totally relate to your past posts about finding out you were pregnant, and your reflections on pregnancy after adoption. I know how rare this is, so it's great to find someone who I can really relate to. I'm definitely going to use your blog as a resource in the coming months!
This was good. Here are a couple more:
I live on the street where the live concert was held.
I read the book already so I will not read it again.
And then there is THIS classic:

Hi Wendy,
Joia's Dad here...I rarely comment on blogs but when Judy read me yours a few days ago, I knew I had to send you the following. It's the EU's plan to make English much more practical!
Urgent Announcement by EU
The news is that the European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English."
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favor of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan haveone less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replased with the "f'. This will make words like "fotograf' 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent"e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.
By the 4th year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "V'.
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve wil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer. ZE DREM VIL FINALl KUM TRU!! And zen ve vil take over ze vorld!!
