Top Lists of 2011

I don't know about you, but I always enjoy reading "top lists" at the end of each year.  Whether I agree with them or not, they're just entertaining.  As a kid, I'd even cut some of them out and paste them in my journals or spend hours listening to Casey Casem's Top 100 songs of the year as I diligently wrote down EVERY SINGLE SONG (and tape recorded quite a few for later enjoyment - ah the joys of making mixed tapes).  Technology has made it so much easier to say the least!   This year, I thought it would be fun to make a few lists of my own and share them with you.  Hopefully you find them entertaining.  As you can see, I got a little carried away.  Once you start thinking of things, it's easy to do!

*Disclaimer: 

These lists were generated purely for fun and entertainment and in no way reflect the general consensus of my fellow sisters or our blog audience.  No offense is meant and I may make fun of people/artists I even like in some cases.  Heck I even make fun of myself quite a bit!
