DeleteHahahaha. For some reason that made me laugh out loud! I'm sure people are wondering what is going on in my office. I'm going to get busted for "non work" stuff at work now! I really needed a smile today. Thanks Janet!
ReplyDeleteIs "cheestring" a Canadian word? Love it. Much better than "string cheese" in American.
