Holy wall washing Batman, I am exhausted.
Got to spend the majority of my day over my new apartment washing walls, dusting and washing more walls. Some of you might be wondering, is she that much of a neat freak that she needs to wash the walls or is the apartment that much of a dump. It's neither, though it does and will be getting new carpeting. If you never knew this, when there are smokers that live in a house and they smoke inside, it stains the walls more that you would think.
So I had to go in and wash the walls so they could go back to thier nice white color and not the off white that they currently were. Though I did forget to take a ladder with me, so now tomorrow when my boyfriend and I go over to pait, we'll need to clean the tops of the walls.
Moving is hard work, but it will be so worth it once we move into the apartment.
On another note, got to see Avengers: Age of Ultron and I must say that it was better than I thought it was going to be. I know not everyone feels that way. But just remember with ANY movie, if you over-hype it in your head then it will always seem like a failed movie and mediocre at best. I won't give away any spoilers, but by far my favorite battle scene was between Iron Man and the Huk. And no that's not a spoiler since they showed a small snipit of that in the trailers.
Lastly, I am happy that my Cleveland Browns weren't idiots during the draft and actually drafted positions that they needed and players that would help improve the team. If they did jump and try to get Mariota, I was going to riot. Not because I don't like him, but we have more problems than just the QB situation.
Okay, I'm done now. Hope you all had a good week and a great week coming up.
Now, onwards!

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Uley," I said totally confused to why he was in my house with everyone else. I was mostly wondering his presence here would make it so that Alison couldn't be here.
"Seth, we were just about to talk to Mr. Uley about the legends," Mom said.
"The thing is that I already know about the legends. I know that my own father used to be able to phase, but then he stopped. Kevin, Sam's father, and I had even saw him phase. So what more is there to talk about? It was something real once, but not anymore."
"But now it's happening again," Sam answered.
"What do you mean 'it's happening again'? What did another one of those 'cold ones' come back and kill part of the tribe?"
"No, not exactly, but they did come back."
"What do you think I know how to become a spirit warrior or if my father taught me how to phase into a wolf so the tribe will be safe? All of your questions and answers have been tiptoeing around something, so please just tell me what is going on," he insisted.
"We don't know for sure, but Josh might phase sometime soon. The Cullens who we have a treaty with are back and we've found out that having them here in the area is what causes us to change. And most of our packs changed during their early teen years, so we don't know if there's an actual age when the initial phasing can't happen anymore."
"So what you're saying is that I might be in my house talking to my son and then suddenly there'll be a wolf in his spot?"
"That's what us talking to you is trying to prevent."
"How exactly is this little talk going to help? And what do you mean by 'packs' I thought there was only one."
"You can help us from making him phase in your house or in Port Angeles. If he phased in Port Angeles it would just make people go crazy. We already had hunters and all that after us once and it wasn't fun," Jacob answered. "And there was only one, but long story short, I disagreed with the Alpha's decision and left the original pack and now both Sam and I have our own."
"Who are you? I thought Sam was the Alpha, and from what my father told me about how a pack works, you can't go against the Alpha."
"I'm Jacob Black, Ephraim Black's great-grandson. Technically, I'm the true Alpha. I just didn't want it, and I didn't mean to make a new pack. I just didn't want to follow the decision he made, so I left. And these two followed me," he pointed to Leah and I. he started at Leah with a confused look in his eyes.
"I thought only males were able to phase," he observed as he looked at Leah confused.
"So did I," Leah mumbled.
"Anyways, back to the reason we wanted to talk to you," Sam interjected always serious. "The way that you can help us is by telling us when he seems like he's going to phase."
"Sounds easy enough, but how will I know?"
"I know that he's already a pretty big guy but he might grow some and get stronger. But the biggest way to tell is that before he changes he'll feel extremely sick and get what seems like a fever. And when that happens, you need to tell either Sue, Billy, Old Quil, Jacob or I and we'll take care of him."
"What do you mean by that?"
"We take new pack members to a small hut that we've used for others. It's the perfect spot because no one will be around except us, so he won't scare anyone and no one will know about it."
"How long will it be before he can come back home?"
"We don't know. But the best estimate I can give you is about a week. The first time you phase it's not easy to phase back into a human. Weather you phase from anger or just from it being in your DNA."
"What am I supposed to tell my wife and Alison? They'll be wondering why he's gone for so long."
"Just tell them that he's extremely sick and that no one can visit him. But again, he might not be able to phase, this is still all new to us. All of this may never happen to him, but we just wanted to warn you so you weren't caught off guard. As I said, we would've talked to him but he would probably think we're crazy, mostly if it never happens."
"No, I understand. But, if Leah has phased, does that mean that Alison will also?"
"We don't think that will happen since Alison is only half Quileute. Also, we haven't had any other females phase since Leah. We're pretty sure that Alison won't. But on the off chance you should still watch her," Sam answered.
"Okay, I understand. But if I may ask a question, why did Leah phase?"
"Because I'm a genetic defect," Leah responded curtly.
"Leah," my mom sighed. She hated it when Leah went into self-loathing mode. Leah always thought of herself as that. That's mostly because as far as we know there has never been another one like her. She also believes this because she's not able to have children. Which I would never knew she wanted, but as she said the option was taken away from her, and for some reason you eventually long for what you can't have. Lastly, if she wasn't a genetic defect then why didn't Sam imprint on her?
"Sorry," she mumbled.
"Don't listen to her, Mr. Uley," Jacob said. "If Alison does phase she'll be normal just like the rest of us."
"But like you all said, there's a very small chance of that happening, right?"
"Yes, sir. But you should still watch her."
He nodded in understanding. "Well is there anything else that I need to know?"
I sat there looking down at my hands playing with them nervously. I wasn't sure if I should tell him about me imprinting on his daughter or not. Shouldn't I tell her first?
As I sat there trying to make up my mind I started to feel multiple gazes on me. Slowly, I looked up to see everyone looking at me. All of them, except for Mr. Uley, were wondering if I was going to tell him. When I looked at each of them no one looked like they even knew if I should tell him or not.
As my eyes met my mother's she gave me an encouraging smile and nod. She knew as well as we all did that he would find out eventually. I guess it was the whole get him used to the idea of me being his daughter's soul mate as quick as possible, in case he didn't like me or the idea or both. When I looked back at Mr. Uley I could tell he was eagerly waiting to find out why everyone was looking at me.
"Well…um…Mr. Uley, I, uh, have something I, uh, need to tell you," I stuttered. Great now he probably thinks I have some kind of speech problem. And when I tell him that Alison and I are supposed to be together he'll think I'm crazy and stupid.
"Well, Seth, just come out with it," he said with a friendly smile on his face. He could probably able to tell how nervous I was. Hell, if Jasper was here he would probably be having an anxiety attack right now.
"It's about Alison…" I trailed off. I knew she was the youngest and his only daughter. With remembering how my dad was towards Leah, made me tread lightly. Slowly I watched as the friendly smile disappeared, and a hard protective father face made an appearance.
"What is it about my daughter that you need to tell me," he replied in a harsh voice, cocking one eyebrow.
In my head I knew that he couldn't seriously hurt me, but I became pretty scared. I even fought a new born vampire, and still this was scarier. If he hated what I told him, it would make Alison and I being together, or just me getting to know her, that much harder.
"Sir, I…I um…" I looked around the room quickly and saw everyone waiting patiently, except for Leah and Mr. Uley. So I took a deep breath sitting up straighter and let it just come out. "Sir, I imprinted on your daughter," I said in one breath.
I sat there watching him process what I just told him. As he sat there with a hard stare fixed on me, I could tell he was starting to realize what I was telling him.
"I thought imprinting was rare and almost never happens," he finally said after what seemed like forever.
"It is or was," Sam answered. "The weird thing is more and more of us find ourselves imprinting, but also with as many of us as there are, I guess it was to be expected." The whole time Sam was talking to him his gaze never left me. I could tell that he was sizing me up, like any father would do.
"So what you're telling me is that you and my daughter are supposed to be together?"
"Yeas, sir," I answered quickly.
"Have you told her of this yet?"
"No, sir, I haven't had a chance."
"Do you want to be with her forever?"
"Yes, sir. If I could, I would spend every moment I possibly could with her from now until the day we die."
"Would you protect her?"
"Yes, sir, with all of my strength. From the moment I saw her, I would give my life for her."
"Would you treat her with respect?"
"Yes, sir. I would respect her and her wishes to the fullest degree. And I would treat her as if she was the most precious think in the Earth. I would treasure her more than my own life, because from the moment I saw her she became my life."
"So you love her?"
"I have to be honest sir. I don't think love is an appropriate word to use. My feelings for her go above and beyond love. I wish I was able to describe to you the feelings I have towards Alison, but there's no words to describe it. She's everything to me. She's my reason for living, I don't know how or why, but I'm blessed with being the one to be able to love her, and one day she'll love me. Even though I love her more than I can ever describe, if she wanted me to leave and never talk to her again I would, just so she would be happy. The pain of not being away from her would be unbearable, but I would rather suffer a thousand deaths than to ever make her sad or unhappy.
"The few times that I've seen her happy my world became perfect at that moment just from her joy. If anything ever happened to her, I don't know if I would be able to survive without her. But yes, since there are no other words to describe my feelings towards her, I do love her."
He sat there taking in all that I told him. I was across the room from him, trying not to look like a scared kid being interrogated by who will be my father-in-law one day. As I sat there waiting for him to respond I kept playing with my hands nervously. By the look in his eyes he was analyzing everything I said, very carefully. In my head I kept going over my words making sure that I didn't say anything wrong that would give him the wrong impression.
"First off I want to say that you seem like a nice kid, Seth. A really great kid that seems like he meant everything you just said," he finally spoke. When he did I could feel hope rise in me that he was going to be okay with Alison and I being together. I could feel a smile start to tug at the corners of my mouth, but I could tell he wasn't done. I refused to let out a sigh a relief until he was done.
"But I've heard those words before, maybe not exactly the same. None the less I've heard them before. And all I have to say is that this is your first and last warning. If you lay one hand on my daughter or treat her less than how you just told me you would treat her then you would be praying and wishing an angry coven of vampires is out to get you. Do you understand me?"
"Yes, sir," I answered simply. I guess the whole getting on his good side didn't work so well. And I could tell the threat was far from empty. It didn't take a mind reader to know that he was completely serious. With the tone of his voice it made me already wish to fight Riley again instead of facing him.
"Now, if there is nothing else, it's getting to be dinner time and my wife will be wondering where I am." He stood up as the rest of us followed suit.
"No, that's fine, we understand. Thank you for taking the time to come talk to us," Jacob said shaking his hand.
"Thank you for warning me and letting me know. I really do appreciate it."
"No problem at all uncle," Sam shook his hand next.
"I almost forgot to tell you. Since you were the son of Levi Uley, if you would like, we would be glad to have you as one of our Elders," Sue offered.
"Thank you, but I will have to think about it. Maybe after my family and I settle down a bit. But I will think about it."
"Nice to meet you Mr. Uley," Leah said shaking his hand.
"You as well." Then he turned to me. "Seth."
"Mr. Uley," I said extending my hand. He took it applying some force making me remember his warning. When we were done with our goodbyes he left to go to his house. After he left I plopped back down on the couch letting my head fall backwards.
"I think he likes you," Leah said sarcasm dripping off every word. I just gave her an annoyed look. I just got my life threatened and I didn't feel like putting up with her remarks. "C'mon, Seth, Alison is his youngest and only daughter. Of course he's going to be protective of her."
"She is right Seth. He could've said a straight I hate you stay away from my house, family and daughter," Jacob said.
"The man just threatened my life. And I don't think he was joking at all. He was completely dead serious," I told them. I thought the seriousness of his words and the look on his face was as obvious as my nervousness.
"Again, youngest and only daughter," Sam reminded me. "But at least this way he can get used to the idea of you two together and he might lighten up a bit once you tell her."
"When I tell her. It seems like every time I try something comes up and I'm not able to. Maybe I'll just kidnap her and tell her that way."
"Yup that's a great idea to kidnap the man's daughter who just threatened your life a minute ago," Leah answered.
"Hey, I have to go. So I'll see you guys later." He started heading to the back door. "Oh and Seth?" I turned my head towards him. "I'm gonna switch your patrol to right after school starting tomorrow."
"Why?" I was planning on telling Alison after school about me. Again something else comes up.
"Because I don't want you out late on school nights and I know if I have you do an early patrol you'll either be late for class or pass out from lack of sleep."
"Fine," I sighed. I would argue but his logic was right. So I would work some other time, maybe during the weekend.
"Thanks. See ya."
"I have to go as well. Emily's having her parents are in town and having dinner with us," Sam said not looking at Leah.
"Bye Sam. Tell her parents we said 'hi'."
"I will Sue. Bye." He walked out and headed home again without looking at Leah. Even if he did, she just sat there burning a hole into the carpet in front of her.
"I'm going to start dinner," my Mom said getting up and headed for the kitchen.
"Do you think I should've told him?" I asked Leah laying my head back against the couch.
"That's not my decision. But he was going to find out eventually, so why prolong the inevitable."
"True, but I didn't think he would threaten my life."
"Seth, you have to remember that he's a father trying to protect his daughter. He's just trying to scare you and it seemed to have worked," I could hear amusement in her voice.
"Shut up. You didn't see the look in his eyes. I swear he was already thinking of ways to kill me as he was warning me."
"Seth, I'm sure that whatever he tries that you'll be fine. Unless he has a gun and shoots you multiple times then I'm sure you'll be fine."
"True," I sighed.
"I'll be back. I'm gonna go for a run before dinner. Tell mom I'll be back in time for dinner."
"Okay."
I sat there trying to figure out a different time to when I would tell her about me. I just hoped that I could figure it out soon or else I might explode because all I wanted was to call her mine and her to call me hers. And also, I was kind of scared of Sophie's reaction to when I tell her that I didn't tell her today. For all I know Sophie might tell her. After sitting there a bit, I decided to go to my room and try to get my homework finished.
APOV
Once I got in my house I climbed the steps walking towards my room. Gabi was talking a mile a minute about I don't know what. I lost track when I started talking to Seth and she was so far gone in her story that I just responded with a few words when instructed.
"So how's Sporks, or La Puck or wherever you are?"
"You mean Forks or La Push?" I asked laughing. She was my best friend back home but she sucked when it came to remembering things. I sat down on my bed to get comfortable since I knew this conversation wouldn't be short.
"Same difference. So how is it?"
"Rainy and gloomy," I sighed.
"Don't sound like you're having too much fun without me," she replied sarcastically.
"Sorry, I just can't contain my excitement."
"That's fine. But really are you doing okay?" I knew what she was asking. I let my head fall back against my headboard. I knew she was just making sure that I was trying, but how did people really expect me to do that so easily.
"I'm fine really. La Push is so different from Cleveland. I'm really okay. It's really nice out here and I met some really nice people."
"That's good to hear. If you weren't having fun then I might have to make a trip out there and force you to have some fun. But anyways, how the family?"
"Josh is fine," I let out a small chuckle. She's always had a thing for my brother, but it was just an infatuation. "And besides you have a great boyfriend."
"I know, and besides I asked about your family."
"We both know you meant Josh."
"I plead the fifth." I could just imagine her holding her hand up like someone would when they were in court. "But how many dates has he gone on?"
"So far, only one surprisingly."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but I think it scared him to death of any girls from around this area so I guess he's actually laying low for a while."
"Or maybe he's just waiting for me to brake-up with Brayden and come to him."
"Yeah, right. And break poor, sweet, loving, caring Brayden's heart? You know you could never leave him. You both love each other too much."
"I know. And when did you still believe in love?"
"I always have. But it's just not something I think is for me or will ever find me. I had my chance and we all saw how that ended"
"Why do you think you only have one chance?"
"It's not that I believe that, but it's more that I see that love is definitely not my friend, and therefore I'll never have it."
"Do we have to have this discussion again?" she sighed.
"No, because I'll just hang up on you and I know what I think is right. If I wasn't then…" I trailed off trying not to think about it.
"Alison," she said quietly with care and concern.
"I know. But I still can't…besides who would want to…"
"Before I change the subject and you go all emo, you still can. You're the only one who won't let you. And any guy would be lucky to be with you. Don't sell yourself short; you're so much better than what you think."
"Thanks, Gabi."
"You're welcome. Now onto another topic, I bought you the new Beyoncé CD. It's great and I'm sure you'll love it."
"Thanks, but I'm still waiting for my iPod to get mailed to me."
"Why? What happened to your last one?"
"Running, well, running into someone, I dropped it and it broke."
"Do you need your eyes checked how the hell did you run into someone?" she laughed.
"Do you remember when we did cross country running together in junior high?"
"Yeah, how could I forget? I loathed every second of it."
"Well, remember when I ran into the stop sign?" I heard her burst out laughing at the memory. It was another time that I ran into something. I was ahead of everyone else and we were practicing and I closed my eyes enjoying the last little bit of the run. I didn't really look to see if there was anything that I was going to run into. Then all the sudden I felt myself get clotheslined. When my head hit the ground I laid there for a bit before Gabi ran up to me asking if I was okay while she caught her breath. After checking myself I asked what happened and she told me, as she was laughing along with everyone else.
"How could I forget?! That was freaking hilarious!" she said between laughs. I couldn't help but laugh along. To be honest it probably was pretty freaking hilarious.
"Anyways," I said loudly to get to stop laughing.
"Okay, so I'm guessing you were running with your eyes closed in a public place."
"Yup."
"I still don't understand why you like running so much. And maybe you should stop closing your eyes while running. I don't feel like getting a call that you got hit by a car because you had your eyes closed to enjoy your run even more."
"One, I don't close my eyes anymore when I run by the road. And two, I was running on the beach and everyone was leaving and he came out of nowhere."
"Wait, he?!" she asked excitedly. Crap, I should've just said they or that person. Now I would never get off the phone unless I hung up. Maybe I could cover it.
"No, I said 'she'. She came out of nowhere."
"Liar. You said he. Now don't lie to me Alison Nicole Uley. You said he and don't deny it."
"Maybe you should just get your hearing checked. I said 'she' not 'he'. Besides why does it matter what the sex of the person was that I ran into?" I started to fidget with the hem of my shirt hoping that she would believe me.
"First, stop fidgeting with the hem of your shirt. Secondly, why are you getting defensive like you don't want to tell me something, or you're scared to admit something?" Why did she have to know me so well?
"Can we just let this go?"
"First admit that I'm right."
"Fine," I sighed. "You're right. I was fidgeting with the hem of my shirt and I stopped."
"You know what I'm talking about."
I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Yes, I ran into a guy. But can we please drop it."
"Fine, whatever, but you will tell me eventually. I can tell there's something going on, but I'll try not to push you into telling me. Just so you know, it'll be better to tell me now instead of prolonging it."
"I know." We sat there on the phone for a bit in silence. I was thinking if I should tell her and maybe she could help me out. She was, thankfully, waiting for me to start a new conversation or to just tell her. I could tell that she knew I was thinking and didn't want to rush me. As I was thinking I heard a familiar song in the background.
"Are you seriously watching Hercules?"
"Yeah, the twins wanted to watch it." She babysat the neighbor's twin kids that were about six. They were fraternal twins a boy and a girl. "You know in a way, it kind of reminds me of you."
"And how is that?"
"Mostly, because even if you were in love you would never admit it." She was right. We sat there in silence again and I just listened to the song.
[Meg:]
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh
[Muses:]
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad
[Meg:]
No chance, now way
I won't say it, no, no
[Muses:]
Give up, give in
Check the grin you're in love
[Meg:]
This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love
[Muses:]
You're doin flips read our lips
You're in love
[Meg:]
You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it
[Muses:]
Girl, don't be proud
It's O.K. you're in love
[Meg:]
Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love
Wait. I wasn't in love. He was just my friend. I…I couldn't love him. Stupid Disney song, I cursed it internally. Now I was more confused than ever because of my annoying habit of overthinking.
Told ya so, my heart said smugly.
Shut up. I never said I was. And I'm probably just thinking that because of that stupid song.
Keep telling yourself that.
"Hey, Ali. I have to go and get dinner ready. But I'll talk to you soon, right?"
"Of course."
"Good, because I miss my best friend."
"I do too."
"And promise me when you're ready to tell me, that you'll call me."
"I promise."
"Just a warning," this is why getting off the phone with her took so long, her goodbyes were like monologues, "there will be a guy one day. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but someday there will be one and you won't be able to deny and suppress your feelings for him and he'll love you too. He'll spend all his time trying to woo you. And I can't wait till that day comes."
"And why would that be?"
"Because that's the day I get to say, 'I told you so. That there is someone out there for you to love and that loves you back'."
"Thanks, I can't wait," I replied sarcastically. Sometimes she had a bit too much fun with telling people 'I told you so'.
"And also, you should know this, but just so you know, call me whenever you need me. I don't care that I'm three hours ahead of you or that it's 2 a.m., okay?"
"I will."
"Good. Later."
"Later."
I ended the call and sat my cell phone on my nightstand as I sat there on my bed cross legged while my head was in my hands. The only thing I could think about was how do I feel for Seth? But whenever I tried to think about that I couldn't help but think that he would never feel the same for me, even if I did love him. He really wouldn't want me once he finds out how broken I am.
Suddenly, as I was in deep thought, I felt something hit the side of my head and fall in my lap. I looked up to see who it was, even though I already knew. I saw Josh standing in my doorway with a huge smile on his face.
"Sorry, it was just too easy to pass up," he laughed.
Normally I would be mad at him, but I was glad he brought me out of my thoughts. Just sitting here on my bed trying to sort them out wasn't helping me at all. I went to grab whatever it was he threw at me and retaliate. But as I was about to throw it I recognized it.
In my hands was my favorite stuffed animal growing up. It was a medium sized sandy colored wolf. After my dad started to tell us the legends of Quileutes, wolves became my favorite animals. Josh and I used to even try to reenact the legends in our backyard when we were younger, that's how much we loved the stories. But you have to give it to them, they were very intriguing stories. A bit of history, sci-fi and fantasy all rolled into one.
"I thought you would want it back," I heard Josh say from the doorway.
"I thought you got rid of it."
"Nope," he leaned against the door frame.
"You mean you've had it all this time and never gave it back to me?"
"Well, after I told you that it ran away to be with its pack, I planned on giving it back to you but I forgot. But what I still can't believe is that you believed me when I told you that its pack came looking for him in the middle of the night and so…" he was pointing to the stuffed animal.
"Sandy." Yeah, I know, brilliant name. But I was a baby when I got him.
"Yeah, so Sandy went with them."
I remember than very well. I got Josh in trouble for something I did when I was about eight. He got mad at me and said that he would get me back. When I was younger, besides Josh, Sandy was my best friend. And like many little kids I acted and probably believed that he could hear me and treated him like a real wolf that was my pet. I went to sleep that night asking Sandy to stay up and make sure Josh didn't try to do anything to me in my sleep. In the morning he was gone and Josh told me what happened. Needless to say, I was pretty devastated. My favorite stuffed animal and best friend was gone. Even though I got another one that was a white wolf, I still missed Sandy.
"Like I said I meant to give it back, but I forgot. I found him when I was packing up my room and I figured I would give him back to you when you got depressed over this place. And you looked kind of down just now, so I thought now would be a good time.
"Thanks, Josh," I said smiling at him. "I still can't believe that you had him all this time."
"It's amazing what you'll find when you pack your life up to move."
"I guess so," I said hugging Sandy as I felt a small smile make its way on my face.
"And mom wanted me to tell you dinner is just going to be leftovers so it's a fend for yourself kind of night."
"Okay, thanks."
"No, problem." I heard him make his way down the steps towards the kitchen. Hopefully there'll be some good food still left after Josh is done.
I just sat there and leaned back against my headboard still petting Sandy like he was real. Having him back and petting him like that made me thing about how easy life used to be when I was younger. The time when you believed that there were monsters in your closet and the solution was to yell for daddy and he would chase them away. A time when I was back home in Cleveland going to shows at Playhouse Square. Also a time when I believed that everyone got a happy ending once they found someone they loved.
"A lot has changed since I last saw you," I sighed. I decided before I started to have a conversation with my stuffed animal I should probably go get something to eat and do my homework. I got up and sat Sandy down on my pillows, just like I did when I was younger. I guess some things never change.
So thoughts?
Thank you to everyone who has been favoriting and following and the few of you who have been reviewing. I love each email letting me know about them and love reviews even more, just because I love knowing what you all are thinking.
I'm off to eat finally after all my hard work and then I'm tempted to crawl into bed and sleep.
Remember reviews are as good as finding a long lost friend (stuffed animal or what you will).
Until next time, be safe.
