These past few weeks have been wonderfully uneventful. LOL. Don't you just love when things just go well. The only thing that's pretty much sucked is we went from nice "fall-like" weather to hot as hell weather. Does anyone notice that the seasons seem to be shifting? I mean for example, winter starts later and lasts later, then spring starts late and so on, and so on.
