She stared at her desk for a long moment before asking me if I truly was opening up a "sidewalk carrier" business.

I did get two blessings, though, and I'm told that something good will happen to me tomorrow. I take this to mean that I'll meet the woman of my dreams, but since I got two blessings, two of them will show up, and end up falling in love with each other, leaving me weeping at the proverbial altar.<br /><br />Nothing that hasn't happened before.The Dead Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181757029391161049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759432440437112051.post-48718993098014582572010-03-04T14:26:53.975-08:002010-03-04T14:26:53.975-08:00Wow, it's like shows how, like, you're an ...Wow, it's like shows how, like, you're an ocean away, and all Americanlike, but, you know, we're all the same! Cause, I have the Irish version of craiglist open AS I TYPE! Right now. And obsessively look at at least four other freebie sites. I make Obsessives look like stoned sloths. <br /><br /><br />But, I must say, there is nothing half as much fun as those examples... We're just lacking ambition methinks.Domestic Oubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298706907126418711noreply@blogger.com
