ReplyDeleteAll I know is that I am crying...and you know how I NEVER cry. Hardee har har. Erin, you are such an amazing beautiful soul. Said it before and I'll say it again. Who makes a list like this? It's so real...so honest...even funny. =) Love you cousin. I think you've changed my life. Oh...and don't forget. Be careful - they're all on drugs. haha
ReplyDeleteAww.... I TOTALLY FORGOT "BE CAREFUL, THEY'RE ALL ON DRUGS!!!!!!!!!"
