Meatsa meatsa?? lol Love it!
Ha ha! Why did this list have to end? I could have read this laugh-out-loud entertainment for hours. Based on my responses, I KNOW I'm a Hyatt!
P.S. This picture is obviously pre-#8-Suave- Maximum-Hold-mousse knowledge. At least you look adorable!
Cheese on Toast and grapefruit juice must have been passed on from the Hyatt side because we eat that to. Devin had to teach me how to spread the cheese on just right. PS I love love the picture!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one itching to know their Dad's deathbed secret. Though I am beginning to wonder if it isn't just a joke he's playing..
