Lor -
I found your list very entertaining! I read it at work and told Neesy about the funny ones!
I didn't know hampsters bit their babies heads off - that's disgusting. I wouldn't eat Life cereal either if I were you! And while Rachel Ray seems to be a great cook, she gets a little weird sometimes. Like using sardines in a pasta dish. Um, GROSS!
whatever I enjoyed reading those!
#34 we share the same star!! I've always wished on that one too.
#43 oh dear that is hilarious!
#44 I totally agree. I actually watched an episode of Hannah Montana last Saturday am and was so disappointed.
#45 My sister and I had that perfume too! I remember the smell and the bottle.
#56 Are you copying us?
Its amazing how much you learn about some people from their blogs! Carrie and Ryan need to do a list like this now. Love Mom
Ok, you are interesting! I remember Electric Youth!! And where did all the good Sat morning shows go??? Next time you go to NYC let me know I'll go with! We aren't that far!
My grandma on my mom's side had 21 kids.
You are totally interesting! Thanks for posting this, hope you are doing great!
Trista
Humm learned a few new things, but 11, really? I guess they are functional, but still . . . .
I did not know #10 - fun
#21 I agree for that & other reasons too
#41 - good for you - I would not know where to start
I thought of a list, if I did a list & I was quite boring too. So I decided not to.
It makes me smile remembering all of those great things about you. Half of those things I love too b/c you loved them! I'm so unorigonal. Seriously, you'd think I'd get my own personality by now....You would have been a great history teacher. Maybe kids would have liked to go to class if you were the teacher
I totally enjoyed reading this! There were things I didn't know which was surprising since I've known you ALL your life! (lucky me!) I remembered the hamster minus the head thing DISGUSTING!!!!!!
