Mom just did both of these surveys on her blog and I thought I would attempt them, plus the "tag" that is being sent around.
First Melissa's, (because it will be the first to come out when I copy and paste Ola!)
1. Height? 5' 4" I am this height, mom has got to be at least an inch taller.

I used to think my hair (but now it makes me look like a boy) I loved making Natalie jealous when I could make it look like an Herbal Essence commercial. Now I only scare away the opposite sex...
