7 things that attract me to people:

- kind eyes
- creativity
- sense of humor

- did I mention sense of humor?


Instead of 7 Things I Say Most Often (the majority of which can't be printed on a family blog), I'm taking the liberty of changing it to 7 Things I Would Never Say:
- "My favorite reality show is..."
- "Those poor Yankees."
- "Tell me more about the consistency of your baby's diaper contents."
