It's so funny how doing these lists is such a challenge for me. There's just so much, and it's like my mind goes blank trying to think of answers But I think what's listed gives a pretty good representation.
*Hopefully* those garments will be done by Sunday so I can show y'all.
peace

I love the list, and you're so working the hair. I try to get a list completed every Tuesday-it's nice to focus inward every once in a while. This week's list was perfect timing I was feeling a bit tread upon and then remembered how many people love me and lift me up and knew it's be alright. Thanks for hanging out at my blog. Peace.
With a favourite things list like that you're destined for a long and happy life.
...and yes indeed, you do have great hair.
Cool idea for a blog post! I would probably have trouble coming up with so many anwers :)
I enjoy that as a kid you had wanted to be a cashier. I remember also thinking as a child that would be a fun job, as I liked the sounds that the cash register made!
like the hair doo
hugs are great
start that business now folk
thanks all.
@ victoria--yeah. being a cashier used to sound like the best thing in the world when i was young. my cousins and i used to always play store and fought over who'd be the cashier, ha! after growing up and working retail for a number of yrs. i'll have to pass on it at this point. our pretend stores weren't as chaotic and filled with insane folk as i found out the real ones can be. :-/
@ torrance--am doing it and in the process of doing it bigger :-)
