This vlog is in response to the challenge my friend and fellow author, Kristen Tracy, issued via Twitter. (If you are not following her on Twitter, you are missing out!)
Before you watch it, however, I must apologize in advance for three things:
1) How very untidy my kitchen is in the following vlog (YIKES. Should I be ashamed? Yes, probably. But when it comes to dealing with the mass amounts of mail we receive and cannot seem to throw away or writing…well, yeah, I’m writing.)
2) That I must have the MOST boring junk drawer in the history of mankind
3) The vast amount of “ums” and “uhs” in my narration. I was nervous about showing you my untidy kitchen, okay? 
Also, please note, Kristen Tracy, there is a challenge contained within this video for you! I expect a response!
Wow! I feel like I got twice the bang for my buck. Because in addition to your junk drawer, I saw your *drop zone.* I LOVE your floating keychain. I hope this means you have boat access. Okay. Advice. You could probably stack your junk and get more of it to fit inside your junk drawer. What else? I am mulling over your challenge. I fear one challenge will lead to another and before you know it we’ll both be competing in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race naked. Hmmm. My yak rugs . . . .
