By the way I would like to point out that two years ago when you went to CKU San Jose you got to meet Carter for the first time :P
I love reading your blos and seeing where you are and where you have been. It makes you feel not so far away!
This was such a cool post! A great page to add to your life book!!
(I sure hope I wasn't the one who thought you were Jewish!? After reading your blog this long, I know better!)
I have to agree...Super cool post! I don't think I want to review the past 25 years.
Aren't you loving the new season of The Office?!?!?!!!
Mimi-I loved this post - I may have to do this. I learned A LOT about you from this post. Yay for working out and the Duran Duran concert - how cool!!
I love this! Fascinating snippets, Mimi! You're amazing :)

Absolutely your parents still loved you through all of it! And still do! Hoping that there will be no more horrific cycles in your life . . . just go on being you.
By the way I would like to point out that two years ago when you went to CKU San Jose you got to meet Carter for the first time :P
