YAAAAY Jackie!!

time 3:17 pm feeling happy wearing nice shirt, new shoes music RP reading magazines, whatever ready for snacks next Despatch

Um, OMG. So Jackie having her baby puts my 2006 off to a good start. Well okay, she's not really a close friend or sibling, but it will do! I mean, really. HOW MANY TIMES over the past six months or so have I been saying, "I wish someone I knew would have a baby"??? SO MANY! And Waning had hers, and that was muy exciting, but I can't really buy her baby things or ooh and ahh over Allie IRL because, well, she's NOT IRL, hahaha. Plus she'd think I'm a stalker. HAH.

Anyway that just totally made my day so I had to update. Are you SO PROUD of me for the constant updates? Yeah. Thought so. I'll pat myself on the back later, ha.

Let's see how we're doing on The List then, alright?
