Big Oaf said...

I can't believe that having a big oaf for a brother didn't even crack the top 100. I was hopeful that it would be 101, and was then crushed by beach hair!

Where The Wilds Things Are said...

More proof as to why we are friends. We like a lot of the same things...just to name a few:
Mueller Park, Water skiing on glass, fry sauce, hydrangea, padded bras (I am in desperate need of a new one...thanks to Sam), sugar cookies, newly polished wedding ring, and jeans that fit right.
