Paper plates for dinner - check. Leaky sprinklers - check. Careless bulk purchases - check. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Logo Girl - double check. (Oops. I guess I've got a problem with lust too!) ;-) Gluttony is definitely my problem, Ben. Paper plates for dinner – check. Leaky sprinklers – check. Careless bulk purchases – check.
