Pet Peeves:
Tofu, people who know me and don't say hello when they go by

Dreams:
To make the world as happy as my little circle and have good health for a long time

Little Known Facts:
I read so many books in high school that the teacher didn't believe I read them.

My Secret:
The number of socks I own

Words to Live By:
"Do the best you can!"

Mrs. Weiss,
I think you are so cool! What is your favorite characteristic that a customer can have? Also, what is your favorite candy? Mine are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Ethel,
You seem like a really nice person to meet. I've been reading other comments and sparklepuppy said you had scrapbooks. My one question would probably be "How and when did you start your business." that's what I want to do when I grow up, start my own business!

I would want to know if you wish the BSG were real, if you really would get Dillon's name wrong and call him Donald, what it's like being a character in a book, and how many teenage girls come in asking to see the apology letter maeve wrote after stealing candy when she was little.

Dear Ethel Weis,
This summer, I met you and I totally agree that you like to make people happy! You showed me all you scrap books and I wondered how you keep them all orginized and neat. And how you keep track of them. You were my favorite part of my summer vacation. Thank you!
