Right back at you, Kelly! And yes, I definitely get the laughing at a joke even though the topic has moved on to something else...and then the urge to laugh gets even stronger... :) And if nobody knows what this means, you'll have to find out on Kelly's blog! ;)
DeleteSo sorry you felt like ick for Christmas...boo hiss! Um... I was not aware that glasses were sold without rhinestones? I'm wearing rhinestone frames right now (they help me see better...the rhinestones & the glasses). I heard Grumpy cat t-shirts were BOGO 50% off at Hot Topic and ran to the mall yesterday with you in mind. I figured we would NEED matching grumpy cat shirts for SNAP...hello! Sadly, they were sold out...bummer! I Love your year in review and am looking forward to seeing what you make in 2013...and of course more funny cat pictures :)
