I'm assured these are all genuine occupations, but it's hard not to hear many of them as casual insults.

I am OBSESSED with this man. You don’t get the full effect without the music (Dancing Queen) so I urge you to check out his page. Also, ice skating looks to be the closest humans can come to flying and maybe I will LEARN.

I saw something yesterday that reminded me that life is unpredictable and often too short. It made me want to do all the things & tell all my friends that you’re great.
You’re all great.
You’re all great.

Though, I confess, she did give them to me to look after, yet it was her fault not to see that I did take them out of the coach. I believe it might be as good as 25s. loss or thereabouts.

I loved The Life of Chuck. No doubt those of you who are cleverer than me could tell me why I’m wrong, but I don’t care. I loved it. And Tom Hiddleston continues to be drop-dead gorgeous.

New graphics from Target Ovarian Cancer just dropped. I’m really keen to spread the word about symptoms, so please share either my post or the graphic. Other common symptoms include fatigue & changes in bowel habits, it can seem like IBS, and there’s no routine screening.
