the infinite atonement ROCKS!! I love that book too! I will have to read it again cause there is so much in it.

Alona said...

You're fast, Carly! Consider yourself tagged! That is a fantastic book!

Kristal said...

ok, I need you to go into the editign part of your blog and make it so that a window pops up to leave a comment, rather than change the blog window...it stops your music and makes it hard for me to read your blog and comment, which I have to do because during those 3 seconds of change, I forget what i wanted to write. Do it now!

Kristal said...

oh my gosh, do it now, cause I have lots to comment on! I love that our saying are almost all the same! Seriously, I forgot "your mom" but I say that to almost everything Jason asks! SERIOUSLY, cause it's really funny that it's usually true. And "what the?". Ok, HURRY!

Kristal said...

suzannah has a blog?

Alona said...

Done! Susannah has a temporary one. It's not really a blog - check it out. It's in my links. I'm trying to convert her, but in reality, our lives are pretty much the same right now, so mine covers a lot of what she would post! :)

I love reading these things about people! I just recently noticed that Kristal had tagged me also. These things kind of give me anxiety. I can't just pop off all these things about myself. I have to have time to realy think....do I want people to know this or not??? I really wish I had the determination and drive to get myself ready to run a marathon, half marathon, or even a couple of miles. I'm jealous of all people who are good at that. Malana has been doing these mini tri-athalons. It's so not fair!!!!

Kristal said...

Good job friend, now I will comment more on your crazy 8s. I love your 8 things your passionate about..it makes me want to marry you, you know if I wasn't married, and a totally hot worthy man.
Oh, and if you want to learn Chinese or Navajo, I can teach you...easy! It'll take about half hour, no charge. Your #2 on your "things that attract you to your friends" makes me think maybe we're not good friends. And what's this about wanting to not be a pub school teacher? Are you bout done? what next? And yes, all seafood is gross!!! Try again.

Alona said...

Despite what you think, Kristal, you really do treat people well! I don't think I could even learn how to speak Chinese and Navajo as well as you. You're a master!
