Well, apparently I live here now—my mom just bought the place. And named it after me, Ashleigh, which was nice. But did she know how cold it is here??
Um, it's a tiny island with not much to do, unless you really like sleigh rides. But I gotta say there are quite a few hot guys on this cold island . . .

New Year's Resolutions by Kirsten (with help from Crystal, Jones and Emma)
1. Survive the month at my sister's house. Survive my 3-yr-old nephew and crazy sister.
2. Learn to ice skate better. Or not fall down. Or just get a cuter skating outfit.
3. FIND HOCKEY-PLAYING, WINTER-LOVING HOTTIE. AND INVITE HIM TO THE WEEKEND CABIN TRIP (AKA "GROUNDHOG GETAWAY") WITH EVERYONE.
Oh, sure. No problem.
What's your favorite holiday book?
I know it's a children's book but I definitely have to say The Polar Express.

ReplyDeleteI don't think I've actually ever read a Christmas themed book.It might be interesting to check a couple of these out. You're done with your finals already? I'm jealous. I have one today. On a Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not finished with my finals. I've got one.
