While I was still proud, I was disappointed I didn't reach my B goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-14462821797615493772009-09-24T22:48:38.096-04:002009-09-24T22:48:38.096-04:00Good luck!!!

I am darn sure that a 19:30 is not in my NEAR future, maybe when I am in my 40's those ladies are FAST!!!<br /><br />Hugs to 3 SLEEPS...<br /><br />FYI I asked the mail people how much it would cost to expedite the card that I should have had in the mail last week. $31!!
