A meme by any other name…
I found this over at Wenchy’s blog!
1. Something that makes me a great friend is my loyalty. I am there for my friends, no matter what!
2. I am tired. Two weeks of sick kids is taking its toll on me.
3. I am not a smoker. I quite about 10 years ago. I still have the occasional craving for a Camel Light!
4. If I had to describe myself in 3 words, honest, clumsy, determined.
5. Something I’m really cheap about is shoes. I am really hard on shoes. They don’t last me more then two seasons regardless of if I buy cheap shoes or expensive shoes. So I usually go for the cheap ones.
6. Something I’m willing to splurge on good food.
7. I would trade my ‘African’ bum for a C cup chest.
