12] How important is personal achievement to you?

Laura Beth has nailed to a cross the Game On – You Name It Challenge! Brilliantly done!
25 weeks??!!! Oh wow.
I like your baseball bat answer 😀
Yep! I get that reaction a lot when it comes up in conversation.
Thanks! I felt that was my best skill, since I don’t run fast.
Haha… yeah.. If you can’t run fast you need something good! 😉
My second son was 4 weeks early and I was terrified… I can’t begin to imagine what your mom must have felt. You needed some more cooking!
My mom was really mad, and scared. Hence why I’m an only child!
That’ll do it for sure!
Definitely.
Thank you for the nomination! This looks like so much fun! 🙂 (And I love Taylor Swift too.)
