I love Cedar Point. My family use to go there every other year. (I'm originally from Iowa.)
Hey thanks for the shout-out! Have a great week!!!
"ahem" experienced! It's a good job your fast; if I could catch you I would kick you in the a%&! ;-)
Let's just say I have a 3 page resume and I am on my fourth passport!
First off, you're from Illinois -so am I! I grew up about 35 min east of STL. I also spent a week during the summer at EIU for Illini Girls State, pretty nice school.
BTW, I'm addicted to my e-mail & facebook as well. And I'm SO jealous you've been to Jamaica! And I too am addicted to roller coasters!
