I'm staying up late on purpose to dry my nails. Silly yes.. but that is the truth. It is also the end of my post since I am exhausted.

Well, not home, home, that was sold when I was six, but I am coming back to the Virginia at the end of this month. I need to escape my current surroundings for a little while. My original plan didn't work out, but the universe helped find another way. Thank you, Guardian Elf man ( Read more... )
