Meme by Threat of Death

Michele has ordered me to do this meme now, or I shall die a painful death. Don’t tell her this (Michele cover your eyes), but she didn’t have to threaten my life. I’m thrilled that she asked, I mean demanded, that I do this. Since we’re going in threes here, this means that I:

1) have no life,
2) secretly lust after Michele, or
3) can’t think of anything else to blog about
