Friday, January 2, 2009


As a child and young girl I knew a girl named Kerri from CYT whom I looked up to and admired. She worked at Limited Too which made her even cooler.

Ooooh, we are now listy friends! I love it! :) And I don't mind you using my real name - alot of other people do, so it's not a big deal. I usually don't put it on my own blog just because I get nervous about people stalking me and murdering me in my sleep. Or maybe I just watch too many Lifetime movies...

:)

#56: You should get the book called "Listography" - I just bought it and it's full of lists for you to fill out! Love!

#90: You should video blog! That would be awesome.

#93: I totally want to do this, too.

#97: This is the cutest idea ever.

Good luck, my dear!

Listography sounds like book that was written for me!! I cannot wait to buy it for myself!
I'll try video blogging, but my self conciousness tends to get in the way...
