Always knew I liked you; now I know so many more of the reasons why. Hugs!
You need to tag some victim!!!
Good 40 items!!!
i too turned down a full-ride to a school i didn't want to attend and have always wondered if it was a mistake. i think that 17-year-old people should not be allowed to make life-altering decisions on their own (or maybe i just mean me at 17).
your list set the bar pretty high for me, my friend...not sure i really lived up to it!
btw, i started doing "facebook" and got back in touch with mr. sitton after these 14 years of no contact. made me think that you and i still haven't managed a reunion (busy lives and all). it's still in the back of my mind to try to take my long-discussed trip to seattle. when are you next planning to come down south?
