We had two vehicles break down on us within hours of each other. The good part? No one was injured and one of them is working again.<br />
<br />
Mailed out my oldest son's invites for his grad party!<br />
<br />
Did some revising on one of my stories and did NOT want to stop, but I had to. I was so in the zone.<br />
