I, on the other hand, am a voracious reader. My husband (also book-resistant) gets rather perturbed at my propensity to read EVERYTHING, even cereal boxes.<BR/><BR/>I too am a carousel, BUT I am not high maintenance, I hate being babied (unless I'm sick), I'm not terribly sentimental, and I am not spoiled, demanding, and impossible to satisfy.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'm quite easy to get along with - just give me chocolate and little bit of space and I'm fine.groovyoldladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971936982658984234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-86736036344244375642007-08-23T08:11:00.000-04:002007-08-23T08:11:00.000-04:00On the quiz: true-- comfortable around all living...On the quiz: true-- comfortable around all living things, special connection to animals and children, you are creative, and..

Unlike parents who allow TV to be the babysitter, she let the library be my babysitter! She'd drop me off after school and I'd stay until she was done with work. It was awesome.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear about your mother. It's difficult to separate like that. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
