Hi Niki, just thought i´d stop by and say hello. Hope you guys are keeping warm enough these days! I like your list - I don't think I would have had the patience or creativity to write something from each number! Say Hi to Nathan from me!
I read all of them. I like "spying" on your life, Niki.
I also discovered that you were in my folks new hometown and mom didn't even tell me. I visited my parents about 2 hours after you'd dropped by or something? I was sad I'd missed you!
I read them all and it made me laugh...it was my break from the chaos of Youth Advance....thanks. i also play computer games when finances stress me out and I also love to only see what is on good channels aka TLC & HGTV. Thanks for brightening my day.
