oh, how amazing are lists?! even if there were things that i did not love before the way that you love them makes it exciting enough for me to love them. i wish we were having brinner together right now.
I love lists too!!! The only thing better then the lists is when you are making a to-do list and you get to cross things off. I love that feeling of accomplishment!
:)
I don't write that bad.........ok maybe I do.
