Wow Zina. I wanna go on a date! Wait... can't do that... um, wanna hang out and play? I like your list of what you like in people. Humor is at the top of my list too. Humorous short-short: Karl (12) is so funny, last night at dinner he told C, in his best GWBush voice, "Go on, you are the decider! Now, who's gunna say the prayer?"

I like Obama too. How did you like darling Hilary's tears? Wasn't that just so touching? She makes me ill.

Wow, can't I just donate a couple of pints of blood and call it good? This is a really hard tag. I don't know that much about myself.

Fine! But give me a couple of days.

And I might use the number 3 instead of 8.

I found your blog through Hailey. I liked what you put about yourself. I stayed with you lists to the end.

After reading through your list I was amazed, after not talking to you in so long, that we are so much alike. It's awesome. I definitely need to call you when I visit Utah next time. Until then, I'll just keep up with you on your blog.

All right, Zina. I'm about the worst list-maker in the world. So, it's going to take me a while to think of 8 whole things to list about so many topics. But, I promise I will do it.
