Interview With Holly Jacobs

And for the first time in 1o years, I didn’t get up at 4 am…but I did shop the Black Friday Sales at 8:30–in Dallas.  For me! I’ll try to get a picture on The Twisted Sisters blog later.
But that’s not my topic. [...]

Happy Thanksgiving, II

Slut Susan checking in with my thankfulness.
I’m thankful–
Thanksgiving doesn’t come every day.
#4 got her new dishwasher (and he’s not a cabana boy.)
We don’t have a Starbucks or Braums in Cleveland so I’m able to keep my weight under 250 pounds.
I’m one of six siblings so I’ve never been spoiled.
I like myself enough to think I [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is one of my favorite holidays–Thanksgiving!!
We’re hoping all the SLUTS check in today to say what we’re thankful for.

From Slut Nancy, I’ve posted for her:     I  am thankful [...]
