Doing great, Nicki!

[E.]

UMDhestiny, can u change my number to 4? I think the 7 (which I would love to do) is stretching it too far for me since I'll be reading...

textbooks.

So my focus wouldn't be on my pleasure books (*tears*) but reading my textbooks.

(Trust me, I rather read my own books, but it seems...)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

You bet, E!!! I totally hate when "life" interferes!
