48 Questions (old school blog style)

I saw this on my adorable friend Emily’s blog and she stole it from the awesome Zakary who hijacked it from another blog and yeah, it’s like an old fashioned (circa 2008) kinda meme.

taken by the 2-year old at the end of a long day…

So now that I am done I am gonna go the extra inch and “tag” a few people to do this too.  You know, like the old days.  I am not even going to mention their twitter handle because in my mind twitter does not really exist yet.  But you can bet your bottom dollar I will be tweeting about this post… soo… yeah, you got me!
Anyway, I tag Loukia (she knows why), Greta, Meagan and Vikki because I’m pretty sure she likes this kind of thing.  Also, if you feel the need to Old School Blog too and decide to do a post also, please let me know!  I want to read!
And Cheers! to O.S.B and the good ole days!
Lylas!
