At Kevin's insistence, I downloaded Firefox 3 last week, but I've been having problems with it, including a temperamental Google search bar, which now requires I go directly to Google to search, something I haven't done in forever. It makes it harder for me to search for things like "does the new Firefox suck for everyone?" Today I went back to the old version, but now I need to re-sign in to everything, which is massively annoying.
Anywho...Carmen tagged me for a meme! Legal notes passed along with the meme: "The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer."

First up are Hannah Montana charm pens. I was given two pens, but the
packaging opened up and the charms were lost from one package (this
happened before I got them, even though it does sound like something my
kids would do), so the winner will receive both pens and can then share
the charms between them.
