FREE AT LAST!

I'm free at last! The horse's tail is FINALLY GONE!!!! Laurie is so nice. Thankfully, she didn't have too much trouble finding our flat. This is a good thing indeed, because I can't give directions at all. A side affect of the brain injury, I'm afraid. I'm so happy! The overgrown sheep dog look is... Sign in to see full entry.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING

Hopefully Laurie will be here in about half an hour to help me get rid of this ridiculous horse's tail attached to my head. I can hardly wait! I'll be back soon!... Sign in to see full entry.

SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW

The candy cane was made to honour Jesus. The white symbolises His purity, while the red symbolises the blood He shed for us on the cross. Something to think about the next time you're enjoying a peppermint stick! Sign in to see full entry.

HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN THIS????!

Oh, my word! I have to confess that I've been getting more and more forgetful lately. Maybe old age is finally making its descent on me at last! But forgetting this takes the cake...Preferably a LARGE German chocolate one!!!! I completely forgot that Saturday was my eighth blogit birthday! What a... Sign in to see full entry.
