What a fun meme! I especially love your list of songs that you could listen to over and over. Erasure, Abba, U2, Led Zeppelin - great choices!! I am really enjoying your blog :)
I love the meme, they are kinda fun you get to know your fellow bloggers. I am a true fan of the friends with twisted sense of humors what is fun about being proper.
Thanks for tagging me! I'll get cracking on it right away.
Love it, love it, love it! Football and alcohol! Oh, we are so going to be BFF!
I'll try to get to this on the weekend
Hey! Thanks for the tag. I loved your answers. Especially, "Cutting one's own hair is not the most sensible response to hair anxiety." You made me laugh out loud.
I agree with the diaper bag item. I think it also applies to strollers. However as the proud owner of 5 diaper bags and 6 strollers, I tend to over buy.
