It was so freeing to be able to write with no thought toward impressing anyone...and I hope they get a good laugh. I used a "top ten" format with the theme "changes"...everything from quitting youth sports to new vehicle to husband's thinning hair. Plenty of self depricating snark:) thank you!melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677295427283294982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-79070038370052329462012-11-04T21:35:59.129-05:002012-11-04T21:35:59.129-05:00This idea has been ruminating for years, but I'...This idea has been ruminating for years, but I've never used it.
