Then i would start a campaign to get Disney channel off the air. Because i couldn't die without saving the youth of america.

Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper for the taste too. I wish I didn't. Let me know what you think of Shack and Uglies. I need to give at least one of them another try... Natalie, sadly I like Dt.

And I'm so glad to make your bucket list. What an honor! Allie, you never fail to make me laugh out loud--the snorting, unattractive kind. Studying= student+dying. That's good stuff. Pam, I saw a mom on Oprah that did that--videos for each stage of life for her daughter. What a gift. And I LOVE Sophie Kinsella. I never got into the Shopaholic books, but I think I"m gonna have to try again. I liked Remember Me, but didn't love it. But mostly I was just glad to be reading a Kinsella book again. I really liked Can You Keep a Secret. Lauren, I'd TOTALLY down like a million frapps if I was on my way out. Bethany, I checked your reading list. Very deep stuff there! Bryn, a going away party is a great idea. And yes, there's a McD's nearby. That's another story...another problem...another pair of pants that won't fit... Julia, Hot fudge sundae…good choice.

I was just eating ice cream too....hmm...better go see if my pants still fit. ANyways, 30 days is a long time. I would: 1. Go to Venice and Rome. And all over the globe. 2. drink my favorite kind of coffee without feeling guilty. or short. 3. eat as much fruit as i would want. junk food sometimes makes me sick. so i would have a little of that and a bunch of strawberries. well that's it for now ;) ~Lauren Haha.

I'd give them all of that "mom" wisdom that I want to tell them. I'd make them scenario specific - first day of school, when somebody makes fun of you at school, when you learn to ride your bike without training wheels, when you're baptized, when you don't make the cheerleading squad or you do make the drill team, your boyfriend breaks up with you, you start to drive, graduate from high school/college, when you're contemplating getting married, when you get married, have your first child, etc. For all of those times when a girl needs a mom - maybe it would feel like I was almost there. I'd also clean/organize my house - A LOT! If I died right now nobody would have a clue as to where anything is. I have so much STUFF it's ridiculous. If you've ever had to clean up after a packrat's left this world, you know what I mean! Lately I have read all of Sophie Kinsella's work - she totally cracks me up! I was killing time in an airport bookstore when I ran across "Shopaholic" and have been addicted ever since. I usually laugh out loud with her books, but I didn't with this last one called "Remember Me." It was okay-funny, but not laugh-until-I-cry funny like the others.

So right now, I should be studying for a huge AP Bio test that goes over four chapters... I have never been one for cramming late at night. It's bad for ya kids. I have also never been one for studying each night in advance, or one for studying at all. Have you ever noticed that the word "studying" is a mix of the words students and dying? Exactly. Ah, 30 days to live. I would go try to save Africa, who cares if I die, it was comin' up soon anyway. Oh, and ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. How fat can you get in thirty days? As for the pregnancy test commercial, my favorite part is when they give us a visual of a liquid gracefully arching down to drench the lil tester thing. Um, TMI anyone? pff. ha. snort. nice video.

I will buy myself a hot fudge sundae with every possible topping (other than goji beans and alfalfa sprouts.) 2. Buy a bucket of that new chicken thing at KFC 3. Meet Jenny B Jones (yes, the sundae and KFC came first... sorry.) 4. Buy every book I’ve ever wanted, even the little Pooh Bear picture books I used to see at the store but was never bought because I was an extremely stingy five year old. 5. Find every loophole in my school's rules and see what my teachers do about it 6. Read the last chapter of Pride and Prejudice (I stopped at chapter 60... oops?) And that concludes my list. At the moment, I'm reading Rematch by Erynn Mangum and next up is a book called I'm not sure what I'm Reading Next by Me. I love the Clearblue commercials, too. If I'm ever in need of a pregnancy test (don't get the wrong ides here kids) Clearblue will be my choice. Price is no object. then I can tell me child I peed on advanced technology for them. My other favorite commercials are the Free Credit Report dot com ones. I'm working on memorizing all 4! Well, God Bless... Well, if I were to die, first I would

You might get electrocuted. As for eating junk food I agree. I don't have a list, but I would like to be near to my family and friends. Maybe spend a day each with them. And then I would have a going away party on the twenty-ninth day. As for books I have left two sitting on my bookshelf with bookmarks stuck in them half way through. With school starting I haven't had time to read any of them. But you could so I will type them down. 1. The Battle for Vast Dominion, by George Bryan Polivka. 2. From a Distance, by Tamera Alexander They have so far been very good books, but I like the latter better. Sorry Mr. Polivka, but your second book to The Trophy Chase Trilogy is my favorite. Brynhildur P.S. If you don't want to cook, is there any Mcdonalds near by? But be careful if you go there, Ronald might stab you with a fry. Good evening, Jenny,

I'm reading...Catch A Rising Star :P by Tracey Bateman. For "school" I'm reading a bunch of books by Jay Adams about Nouthetic Counseling.

My diet would be composed of straight up chocolate and Diet Coke. Sadly, I don't even drink Diet Coke for dietary purposes. I just think it tastes better. I'm sure the aspertame fizzles my brain cells or something. The world can be so cruel. My sister gave me $20 to go buy The Shack "or else" so that's what I'm reading. I'm sure it is a good book. It's just not the kind of book I'm typically drawn too. I'm starting it tonight so I'll find out soon. I'm holding out hope! :) I'm also reading Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. It's a smidge slow right now, but I think it has kind of a cool message. I'm not having a hard time putting it down, but I like that its different. I've been looking for a good non-fic, so I'll have to pick up Beyond Jabez. I need a proverbial kick in the pants right now (from a source that doesn't reprimand my love for chocolate). :) No goji berries. My diet would be composed of straight up chocolate and Diet Coke.
