#97 The first step is admitting you have a problem . . . ;)

I love you and I think this was a good idea!

Do you remember who first introduced you to 10 thing I hate about You? Ahem....
I knew most of the 99 things...though one wasn't about you! Good idea though.
I wish you could come down for the photo contest our Zoo is having...of course you'd be serious competition! We also have the international Photography Hall of Fame here. I'd love to go with you. haven't been yet.
