Haha! Perhaps it was my name in a past life. <br /><br />I'm not blond, though I was for the first 25 years of my life. At that point it started to get darker and when I became pregnant with my first child, it got a bit darker and after the birth of my 2nd and final child, I referred to myself as blond was informed that I am a brunette. I'm still not quite on board with this, but I suppose I don't have much of a choice unless I pay for it. And that feels like cheating. <br /><br />Also. I've bee known to drink like a fish on all major holidays, including ones that I was unaware I was celebrating, and thought it best I drink the days before and after as well. Just for good measure. <br /><br />I don't drink as much these days, because I hope to remember my children's childhoods. So far, so good.My name is Erin.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11804807199446678942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35932602.post-54848731278480602902009-04-27T04:21:00.001-05:002009-04-27T04:21:00.001-05:00And Erin - Why do I keep calling you Beth?And Erin - Why do I keep calling you Beth?Extranjerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972708570414496825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35932602.post-75061971123330325992009-04-27T04:21:00.000-05:002009-04-27T04:21:00.000-05:00Beth - Not unless you're blond, drink like a fish ...Beth - Not unless you're blond, drink like a fish on all public holidays, are on first names with santa, and hate people touching you. ;o)Extranjerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972708570414496825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35932602.post-16788373601769344632009-04-26T22:50:00.000-05:002009-04-26T22:50:00.000-05:00I'm a new reader of your blog and I'm pretty sure ...I'm a new reader of your blog and I'm pretty sure I'll be stopping by for the rest of my life. Or your life. Or for as long as you're blogging anyway. <br /><br />Just thought I'd throw out that I'm an American of Finnish descent. (I'm pretty sure that's the politically correct way of saying it.) Yeah, my great-grandparents came over from Finland at the end of the 20th century. <br /><br />That pretty much makes us sisters, right? :)My name is Erin.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11804807199446678942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35932602.post-65200077649066801532009-04-24T04:38:00.000-05:002009-04-24T04:38:00.000-05:00Mr. W. - Thank you.
