I still consider you a friend. Hey, we all did stupid stuff when we were young and even now!!! Nobody's perfect!!!

I am strange, too!!! I used to go around singing the "People are Strange" song. ;O)

I'm organized in my brain, but I have trouble showing it visibly.

I always imagined you as a brunette! I used to be blond, then I quit highlighting my hair. Now I am light-medium brown with brown eyes. Although, I sometimes consider putting highlights in my hair again just to give it some variation...I sometimes think it looks like I am wearing a helmet!!!

Anyway, I have been lost long enough. I am still cleaning for company! I got discouraged and thought I would make a visit over here! I am glad I did!!!

Have a great day!
Blessings!
