And I don't think you'll have to worry about your future self watching too many soap operas, because most of them got canceled this year in favor of cheaper reality TV. Crazy right? I thought General Hospital would live on forever. But nope. Gone!<br /><br />I love how positive this letter is. Don't regret anything! I also love your closing. Haven't written a dedication page, sighed autographs... wondering if your future self has (my bet would be YES!). You got me thinking about this too, and how cool it would be to do signings, then I remembered that I used to be in a band and I've signed our CDs! ha! I should have written myself a letter back then so I'd remember it! lol. <br /><br />Thanks so much for participating in my first blogfest!!Kristin Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169967050454852124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-15167788088828696882011-05-25T12:05:26.860-07:002011-05-25T12:05:26.860-07:00I love this!!
