Five Things: Old School Blogging

I saw this link-up series in a post on Olive to Run last month when she did the ABC’s of Blogging, and I can’t lie – I saw this month’s survey on her blog this morning. I came home late last night, became engrossed in the book I’m reading. Before I knew it was bedtime, and I hadn’t written a post.

So in flys this cute little survey, just in time to save the day! I think surveys are so fun.
