And I thought I was the last holdout with the ipod. But, alas, you're soon to leave me alone when your sister gives you hers.lol.
Also, I would like to meet Angelina Jolie. She seem like one cool chick, just like you!
Hi Kelly. Ooh, good. I have company among those non-iPod-holders. But yes, this weekend I become a Shuffle owner. Yay!!
I don't think I can read a sentence which puts me with Angelina Jolie with a straight face and a fit of giggles. She's a goddess; me, a lowly human. I'd love to meet her. How does she do all these things with grace?!

Ugh, Vanessa! Those fish markets are seriously hellacious! Except any demons would move because they stink so much.
You realize by admitting to the feet thing, you're setting yourself up for some drunken demands, right?
Of COURSE Nutella is a dish!! I often eat it for dinner myself. This weekend I mixed some strawberries up in it, which makes it super-healthy, right???
Totally agree with your celebs to hang out with, too. Though I am kind of hating on Helen Mirren after seeing pics of how skinny she is in her bikini, which is so not fair. :)
Keira--my family LOVEs the Great Wolf Lodge. One of my sons swears he's going to become rich just so he can live in a penthouse at the top of one (a la Zach and Cody?)
LOL! Oh, I am saving that gem for a wedding speech or some other future humiliation! Hee hee.
