Okay: how special do I feel knowing that you FOUND one of those romantic perfume mirrors and sent it to me, instead of keeping it for yourself? You are a selfless chica Miss Annie.
I love the perfume mirror. Will most definitely keep my eyes peeled for one, and try to return the favor. :)

I have actually been trying to make a list like this for the last few weeks – its growing steadily but I can’t get past about #30. I guess I’m not that ambitious?

Annie,
taxactonline.com. . . . .boom, your taxes are done.
Really, I won’t say “boom” very often. Dad will be proud though. . . and he’ll have more time on his hands. Everyone wins.

I’m proud to say that I’ve done 9 of your 25. I wonder how many of my 25 you might have completed…

Hi Annie,
I have been tempted in the past after hearing various accounts from your brother and sister-in-law, but this is the first time I have looked at your blog. I have just added
41. Read Annie’s blog regularly
to my list.

hey, if you need help getting to that elusive 49th state (not the 49th that you would have visited, but the real 49th state), i could probably help on that one a little… you could come visit me. just not for another 6 months or so.

It might be your lucky day for lucky number 13. As of right now, I am 19-0 in my volleyball coaching for this year. Impressive? Yes. I could totally teach you to hit the crap out of that volleyball over the net. All you need to do is come to Texas…I promise volleyball skills, chicken fried steak, cow introductions, and stars like you have never seen in your life. :)
