I sure sound like a violent sort of person, hitting you with a stick like that. giggles.
I love how your reading depends on your location. I laughed but related...sad, isn't it....more giggles.
Keep reading!
What's all this hitting with a stick stuff?
I stand in awe. I don't know how you manage to juggle all those books, your church work, your school work, and your family. You go, girl!
heh heh heh.
I'm ADD and I never do the laundry. Or the dishes. And you should see the "spare room" and the garage. Oy!
Oh, and it was a "passing of the stick" but I misquoted.
