Sometimes it feels like I've gathered all the pieces around me and all I have to do is put them together. Other times I feel that it's all a waste of time and I should just get a job at Walmart (NOT happening). <br /><br />Glad to have found your blog and glad you found <a href='http://2kop.blogspot.com>Two Kinds of People</a>.
