Yep, I want 10 more things. Better than me, I started a list months ago - literally months. Maybe you will motivate me to actually finish it. Working a night and facebook is blocked, I better get some of the list done.

I didn't know some of that stuff, and now you have inspired me to start a list. That was fun! I especially liked the part about playing Barbies. Sigh. I miss those days when we would sit so long our legs would cramp up and fall asleep. Maybe Alli will let you play with her when she's old enough. :)
