Fellow blogger & writer, Kelly Polark, put a list of things she likes and suggested her followers do the same.

  1. Fun post! I thought I was the only one who liked their hair when it's wet. Why does it always look better that way? :-)

  2. I don't know about you but I have very thick, wavy hair that has a mind of it's own. When it's wet, it behaves! Are you going to make a list?

  3. (Yep, my hair is the same way.)

    I've sort of begun one on my site. My About Andrea page covers a lot. I also have a list, BIts and Bobs, that adds more random things about me.

  4. Great list!! Why oh why did you quit brown chocolate?!
    I forgot to put DVR on my list! Isn't that the best gadget?!
    Also, Sean Connery does have a great voice!!!

  5. I am addicted to chocolate so I can't eat it or I eat too much so seven years ago I gave it up. I'm an all or nothing kind of person so it's easier for me to not eat it at all than to just eat a little. White chocolate is really made from cocoa butter, not cocoa beans, so doesn't effect me the same way.
