Things I don't believe in


For Christmas I got a book, one that I've wanted for awhile. Go here to see more info. and read about "Gravy Days". I happen to have known the author for a very long time and am inspired by her talent and wit. One of the essays in her book was titled Things I don't Believe In. So far it is my favorite and it inspired me to write my own list. Here are some things I just don't believe in:

Hey Amanda. It was nice running into you at the bookstore the other day! I'm glad you were able to meet Royce! Well, I scrolled down your blog and read your post about your AWESOME picture from childhood. And I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
Seriously, you crack me up. The stick-on earings, poofy floral dress, and brightly colored watch that you can't even read time with sounds a lot like me too! Everything about that picture captures a girls childhood PERFECTLY!
