Linda Rainey
I’m wiped out just reading about your shopping trip to the mall…ugh!! LOL…I really, really, don’t like to shop…yes, you heard right…..a woman who detests shopping, haha!! Hope you got some rest after all that, Carol!
Congrats to all this week’s winners! Great posts this week & looking forward to next week’s (as always!) :-)
Congrats, Linda!!!!
Trixie – I’m not crazy about the mall or shopping either! Too many years working fast food in the mall (Chick-fil-A for about 10 years). The odd part is that my 13yo usually doesn’t like it either! Having her bestie to go with helped I think ;).
