48 things about me...

I read this on Tatersmama's take on things ... enjoyed her unique answers and much rather add my own 2 cents doing something like this, than clean the house or iron or cook ... so here she goes ...

Sandy...I enjoyed reading this and getting to know you more. As much as I love dogs, I ALSO have ZEEEEERO patience for barking dogs and owners who MUST be deaf because how can THEY stand it? I don't let my OWN dogs bark unless someone is trying to break in the house.

But I'm wondering what it was about my 30-Day post that put you into tears...? :( Can you email me? robynnsravings@gmail.com I'm worried!
