as i was bloggle-ing along the other day over at uppercase i noticed a list of blogs on Janine's side bar.
i clicked here + there. i did the whole list. you know how it is.
then i clicked onto this blog.
i noticed the "about me" on the right side, except it wasn't quite an "about me"....and yet it most certainly was.
it got me thinking.
what do i like?
This type of list making has no anxiety attached to it. This is not a "Name 10 Things You Like About Yourself" list. This is not a bragging rights list.
This is just a list. A list where you do not have to cross things off. This is a playful list. This is the type of list that should bring a little joy to your Friday.
Who here doesn't like joy? Raise your hand. You may be excused.
