No LOST?........
ReplyDeleteApparently I haven't lived... But what is a BCE?
ReplyDeleteTo Cortnie: Thanks for the suggestions! But as for the first three, I have already seen them (in fact, I blogged about Crash just the other day), but I will look into the other three. And yes, Lacie, I posted on facebook about that... Sorry. And Sarah, BCE are the Best Cookies Ever. Basically the only thing I can bake, but really it's okay because those are all one would ever need. Ask anyone, they live up to the name.
ReplyDeleteAAAHH HA HA! The eggo. Good times.
ReplyDeleteOh, I had lots of other comments and am too tired to remember. Sad.
