I can buy clothes that don't look like Tommy Pajamas. Plus it's the only place I know that I can get those chocolate Neccos.

The policeman who parked next to the crossing guard this morning so she didn't get run over. My son started the laundry w/o being asked. <br /><br />This reminds me of an article I read about a Happiness Class at Stanford, because the students keep a daily gratitude journal. One assignment is to go out of your way to thank someone for their work. When a football player thanked the woman who cleaned his dorm bathroom, she burst into tears. Nobody had ever thanked her before.Sheila JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371582292020275894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-4043565187337681372012-02-01T12:19:47.939-05:002012-02-01T12:19:47.939-05:001.
