Cortnie,
I also collect "stacks" of papers around my house. And, I have a hard time deleting pics off my digital camera (card). I actually refuse to delete any from the day Justin Michael was born. Justin thinks this is ridiculous. And I haven't even started his scrapbook.
Etta
YEAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! So glad you blogged. Please keep it going!
Cortnie, Please keep blogging. The first one is a little scary, but it will get easier later and I think you'll enjoy releasing your thoughts! :)
My middle name is Dawn also! I didn't know that about you. Also, I am 100% with you on the Target thing--hate the return policy! :)
Oh, and I just looked at your profile. Does it freak you out a little that after one day of blogging, you've already had 186 profile views? (don't let that freak you out okay? :)
That is so funny about the sheets and blankets. HA! You are the first person that I have ever heard of that does that. I think that is so kool! See you tonight at BUNCO!! :)
Julie
Julie, its your turn to post now:) and Etta we have lots in common!
and Scarlett Dawn, I've had this blog for awhile so people have probably been checking to see if I would ever write.
Thanks for the comments!
I wasn't thinking about the fact that you've had the profile for a while! DUH, Scarlett.....
I too should have a blog called speechless. I am a frequent lurker of everyone's blog but never a blogger. Good first blog. See you tonight.
Yea Cortnie! Keep blogging. You have to admit that this is a pretty fun topic to post. Also, Lisa (Ethan's wife) also takes her own sheets to hotels and condos. I'm also glad you're seeing how AWESOME of a vacation spot the beach is! WOOHOO!!!
2 things i learned:
interior design thingie...not suprised, your house looks great and
the songs of the church?! that is so cute.
and who knew you liked to eat out?! :)
this looks fun. glad to see you post.
love you!
So glad you blogged! Just one more for me to read! I am a huge fan of the lists. (I'm making one in between reading blogs). Love it!
I can't believe I didn't post before (I must have gotten distracted), but I wanted to tell you that I did #33, too. And during sermons I faithfully wrote down every single verse reference. I'm not sure why I did that, because I rarely looked at them again! Loved your list!
