will tell you when i do, heee heee heeee.
sorry, seriously, trying to change another's view, when obviously, people can only change if they WANT to change.
gave up trying to compete with your writing XD
When you had a fight or misunderstanding... and giving up your pride and ego just to make the relationship better...
Well.. it feels .. lighter...
I've given up sodas and caffeine and most of everything I love to eat. Blood pressure. And, I feel great! Hope you're having a great weekend. Sorry I haven't been around lately-strep, among other things, has kept me terribly sluggish.
I have a goodie for you on my blog today!
