2. How to add up.
3.That being with only girls makes you boy-crazy
4. I can read anywhere, anytime so I should always carry a book
5. How to make stromboli and sew a pillow
6. Guys who talked to my chest (wouldn't make eye contact)
7. The 5-paragraph essay is crap
8. That going to an all girl school was not such a bad thing... even if I was boy crazy!

Debby | 3804 comments AMEN to that one Heather! I've got a spare bedroom with books on the floor, on the dresser and in the bookshelf that HAVE to get organized. I think I'll try that tip about giving a small amount of time each day to a daunting task. Maybe that will help the inertia that hits when I look at all that needs done and I just wander away, find my book and sit and listen to it for an hour or so. I know my husband would really appreciate it if I'd get my stuff organized.
