I Love a Good List

As I was trolling through Robert's Facebook account today (I do that sometimes. I don't want my own account, but I like to catch up on what his mother is up to. Facebook has become the only way to communicate with her) I came across this list. I was curious as to how I measured up.

With a score of 74, I apparently love food and a good list.

I need to log into Facebook and let Lola know.
