Those are so funny Mari. I think my favorite may have been GOSSIP.

Everytime I come to your site I want to steal what you've posted for my own. (Except for the recipes... when I come to your site and see the recipes I'm convicted as I know I'm not a very good cook :)

Love ya girl

Well, I have always wondered when I would be officially considered an adult (I mean I AM only 35 yrs old ;-) but now its official....I am DEFINITELY an adult (by your definition). I have stopped growing at both ends and I am defnitely growing in the middle.

We actually have a hair salon in the area named "curl up and Dye"...it always causes a second glance, even though I've seen it many time!
The one that really got me was the description of Chickens...oh yuck!

Thanks for the chuckle for today! Those were great. Isn't it sad that I am only 23, and considered an adult by that definition. Guess it comes with having kiddos huh?

Wrinkles? That's not getting older, just maturing.
