That ecard is priceless. I get very stabby when I see those statuses. (Stati?) I also don't care that you exercised, what grades you got in grad school, or that you took a shower. But I try to forgive those cause I post a lot of pictures of my kids ...
Loved those storefronts. They'll be a great inspiration to me in my second life when I move to England and upon up a cute little children's bookshop with twinkle lights in the window and and an orange cat that lounges around all day waiting for kids to feed him treats.
Also, I was a bit disappointed in myself with that Jane Austen quiz. I've never been to the Republic of Pemberly site nor have I ever been given a Jane Austen action figure. Oh well, must press on!
Thanks for sharing this lovely list. This word nerd especially loved the obsolete words post.... :)
Stopping by from Jessie's today.
