My My Meme

I am a HUGE list maker. Sometimes my list making might cross the line to compulsive. So when I saw this Meme thing on Eyre Affairs, I was riveted! Amy, Thursday Next, is very inspiring, here is her Meme. Like I said, I LOVE lists, especially lists with little boxes in front of the items so that when they are complete, you can put an “x” mark in the box, or a check mark. I prefer check marks. . . see – compulsive!
