the little things...

you know, it just really makes me smile that a dress i wore my freshman year in high school still fits me perfectly at the end of my freshman year in college.

:-)
yay.

how hungry does this make you??

mmmm....i baked cookies yesterday!!!!

(and yes, they taste just as yummy as they look!!!!!)

a walk down memory lane...

So I found my old xanga the other day, and that provided a couple of wonderful hours of laughing at myself.

But it did remind me of one tradition that I've come to miss, and I think I want to revive: the Summer To-Do List.

So in honor of my old xanga, I've decided to post my To-Do lists from '04 and '05, along with how I did as far as completing them.

Plus...Summer To-Do List '08! That's right. Be excited.

8. Take pictures. I've really been bad about this lately, and I want to start taking more.
