how many more days?

Hmm... the countdown seems to be broken - again. Until I can figure out why it stopped working, I guess I'll just leave the days blank.
  • _ days 'til Bonnaroo!
  • __ more days until Canada Day
  • __ more shopping days until my b-day
  • ___ more days until W's out of the white house
I stole the idea for this cute little countdown feature straight from the far-superior blog bag 'n' trash, a fellow member of the mini knits webring. Wanna buy me something for one of these upcoming events? Well, I do have a Froogle wishlist and an Amazon.com wishlist. Hee.
