Hahah - I LOVE LOVE LOVE cooking but I'm HORRIBLE at cleaning up after myself! My mom calls me the human tornado whenever I enter a kitchen..it's just like..WHAM! Erin's cooking? Look out for the mess! I don't know what happens..the food always ends up being good..but I make SUCH a mess...one of my best friends use to say that her job when I was cooking was to try and clean up or at least contain the mess that I left behind..haha! Another one of my best friends started 'cleaning up' while I was cooking and I had left the kitchen momentarily..and I came back and she had thrown away some of my prepped ingredients because she thought I was done with them..haha!!
ReplyDeleteI also love cheesecake. Immensely.
I wish I had men randomly falling in love with me! Actually..I'm not sure about that one now that I think about it...I'm really bad at hurting peoples feelings and I'm sure wouldn't fall back in love with all of them..or even any of them..ahh..I take it back!
That's HILARIOUS about you ending up in Wisconsin...what a ridiculous(ly awesome!) story!
Followed you over here from blogfrog. I love this post! #17 that is my dream car too. it does not have to be purple though it can be black. #25 It once took me 8 hours to drive to my brother's house which is about 50 minutes away. All of this because i didn't print out the mileage on the mapquest directions...so i get it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. I read your back story and some of the similarities are crazy. You talked about your time in the detention center and things needing to be fixed, I'm currently a psych major minoring in criminal justice just so I can work with kids in the system. I was married to someone that was abusive and when I finaly got out I was and still kind of am a single mom to my 2 boys.
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate, but I hate hot cocoa or mocha! I enjoyed reading your list!
