Wishing my special friend a "happy new year" and may you have the patience and blessings from above to be a loving DIL...It seems like God gives hardships to his people whom he knows will carry on in his name...
Hugs .. from your friend, Baba

Geez ! You surely did your homework !39 questions answered ! I think you should come over and I put you on diet here ! You will only get raw disgusting stuff, snails and oisters for example and green salad ! If after that you don't become a skinny minnie I don't know !
I now want to get rid of all this Christmas stuff and put it away, but Mr. Gattino claims that we have to wait until Jan 6 because he has to move the 3 kings towards the crip everyday until they arrive on Jan 6. He pretends he has to do that as he always did when he was a child. Conclusion, men return to childhood when they get older (or old !)

Awesome list Melli....but I'm not sure of #17. Doesn't it ask the same time last year? You say, 'fatter'...I don't think so. You're not....with all the dieting and exercise....uh, huh....I won't believe that!!!
But, I DO love the fact that you're in love with a new member....LUZ!!!! Can I say it here now "I think she's the SUNSHINE of your life".
[oh and p s....I don't like the word 'fatter' anyway. LOL]
