(Then, I admit, I am a bit of a dawdler!) Good for you! You are right about note-taking styles - mine tends to be less "outline" format than some of my classmates, so I too have felt guit when asked for notes. Interestingly, I have noticed that when I KNOW I am taking notes for someone else, I do a really good job and pay closer attention in class. Probably I should take those kinds of notes all the time, eh?! I’m not sure I could try on 30 pieces of clothing WITHOUT my children in an HOUR! (Then, I admit, I am a bit of a dawdler!)

Well I'm pro-choice in the sense that I want women to *have* a choice. I wouldn't do it myself and don't necessarily agree with it except in certain cases but I don't think anyone has a right to a) tell me what to do with my body or b) interfere in my personal relationship with God. If someone thinks it's immoral to abort a child, she probably won't have one. She doesn't need the government telling her she can't. Besides, I can't imagine how painfully difficult that decision would be but I know there are women out there who make that hard choice and that it's truly the best choice for them at that time. Oh and if you need a kid, I'm often in the mood to lend mine out. ;) Thanks! Well I’m pro-choice in the sense that I want women to *have* a choice.

I responded in my comments, but wanted to check out your blog as well. The similarities are uncanny! Liberal (check), proud Episcopalian (check), feminist (check), pro-immigrant (check), pro-choice (almost check, long discussion on why not a whole check), anti-Bush (check), military supporter (check), anti-war (check), all about social justice. (check) Uncanny, now all I need is a kid and we'd be twins! Thanks for the comment. I responded in my comments, but wanted to check out your blog as well. The similarities are uncanny!
