JEALOUS. <BR/>For the sake of love I've moved back to Columbia, SC to be near my husband's family and though it is a state capital, it doesn't compare to the capital of all capitals. Or is that capitol? I can never remember. I'm suffering from culture withdrawl therefore I plan to live vicariously through you for the next 2 1/2 months. I hope you don't mind. Also, you will soon have absolutely perfect weather, barring anymore hurricanes. But I would probably put "closed-toe shoes" and "coat" on your to-do list.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744113121854452289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-10366097790268011092008-09-08T04:23:00.000-07:002008-09-08T04:23:00.000-07:00Zara should not be kicking anyone's ass.
