  2. Makawee thanks for the comment :) Glad you enjoyed it. I am personally shopping for 2 but as you can imagine, I will probably have a lot extra, its more like 2 weeks worth of shopping for me. I might have to pop by the store and pick up a quick specialty item or 2 along the next 2 weeks, but i should be pretty much set!
