We'll do. Of course I hope you don't mind if I steal a bud or two to plant in my yard. Friends share ya know. :)
LOL... if only! :)
Haha, Elizabeth wants to steal buds. Maybe that will go nicely with her caffeine buzz.
Ugh. I feel for you. is there any hope of you going back to work at all? Or could you find something else to do that could bring in some extra money that isn't as physically taxing as your job? Thinking of you!
OOoh oohh...me too!!
DITTO!
