Ha! Wonderful list, Angela. And hanging out on porches and listing to NPR on Saturday mornings ... me, too! Stupid pledge drive this morning, though.
ReplyDeleteThese lists are fun. I feel like I know you a little better.
Thanks, Melissa! I loved reading yours, too. I think it's just as fun to read others' lists as it is to make them.
ReplyDeleteI just made an oversized batch of cookie dough and ate way too much of it while listening to "wait wait."
Nice! You are lucky that you love saving money and watching it grow. That is something that Matt and I can never do, unfortunately!
ReplyDeleteOoh. I like long silk slips, too!
