What do your Facebook likes say about you?

Bring on Spring!

I don't care what everyone else says. I love the snow! It bundles everything in a wonderful white blanket and makes me just want to snuggle up in bed with a good latte and the NY Times.

Time for flu season to disappear -- spring fever's in the air!

Not to mention that all I want from mail services is a package with these little friends! Who says we can't have dorm pets?
