I had a fridge full of yummy fresh ingredients and I came up with nada to entice him, it didn't really enter my head once he was in my house, no wonder he didn't rip my clothes off and when he came to say hello to me in my room (he was staying in Connor's) he saw what I wore to bed and asked...are those your pajamas? Needless to say, it wasn't a sexy negligee. What is wrong with my wiring? Where is the woman in me? A hike in the canyons? 2 1/2 hours straight up and straight down and yes, I kept pace, after all, what would a man do? <br /><br />Funny girls, we are. xoxo VWVicki Whickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520008973825201495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3036733495424243473.post-41833459229346872002010-08-08T21:21:59.308-07:002010-08-08T21:21:59.308-07:00My Mom doesn't cook.

Mom also taught me not to let anyone know that I can cook that well and they won't expect it from me. Enjoy the sensations, the food and the clean up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3036733495424243473.post-50073623400650054032010-08-08T11:56:03.486-07:002010-08-08T11:56:03.486-07:00D'Aulaire's Greek Gods and Goddesses and D...D'Aulaire's Greek Gods and Goddesses and D'Aulaire's Norse Gods and Giants?
