I'm guessing that's your role, too?<br /><br />Kelley-- "Nothing is my biggest enemy." That's the best phrase ever! I love it.<br /><br />Joshua-- Hahahaha! You're killing me, Joshua. <br /><br />Jessie-- The mental picture of you trying to figure out mayo purchases is AWESOME. You go, girl! Be decisive!<br /><br />Prerna-- Hahaha!<br /><br />Angela-- Yes! That's how I feel exactly.<br /><br />LindaK-- I totally agree. And it's kind of like Cayenne pepper. It's made from Chipotle peppers, though, so it's a little bit more of a smoky heat.<br /><br />Kelley-- Ooo! That DOES sound like it will be cool! I love it!<br /><br />WilyBCool-- Me, too. I think I need to make these again soon.<br /><br />Ruth-- Well, um... okay. You've totally got me. There are definitely times when choosing nothing is the best thing! But I guess then you are still being decisive, right? You're making a conscious decision to choose nothing, so it's still all good!<br /><br />Chantele-- We all need to make stupid decisions sometimes. :) I love that your hubby is the one who got you over being indecisive!<br /><br />Jeff-- It's a great character arc, indeed! We haven't had snow yet, and it is KILLING my daughter.<br /><br />Erin-- Have you had them before? If not, I'm bringing some over. They will kill you. :) And I totally agree!
