Thanks to Nancy Cohen who in turn has Bonnie Vanak to thank, I've been tagged for a Seven Things meme. I bloody hate chain letters, so I'm only tagging the Ditzy Chix who blog and a diehard Bombshell fan. Should they choose to accept the assignment of tagging the actual seven people they're actually supposed to tag...
