Never / did I ever
For today’s pre-blog teaser something a little different: random Anna trivia. Why? Because this weekend my sister made me watch 13 Going on 30 (hence the juvie theme), and it’s time to add Serial Blogonomy to my blogpals (by way of whom I got this list). But just to cheat, save on your time, and drive crazy anyone hoping to copy this list from my blog, I’m putting all nevers and evers together and excluding some of the more random outliers.
Find this sort of entry dreadful? Then catch up on the handbagger swap and voting for my friend’s new online-dating user name (new reader comments). And as for the cinna-soy saga, yesterday’s email brought the official shout-out:
