He loves me

Expensive Dishes

I went to pick up my dishes today from the store I visited the other day.  The gal had them all nicely packed and waiting for me.  I could hardly wait to get them home!

Spoons: Plastic Spoons

I have had so few spoons lately that I havent blogged as much as I would like.  I have conserved spoons for things that are at the top of the priority list to get done.  Not that you (the readers) are not important… but things like showering and sleeping and eating and helping Steve with [...]
