i wasn't gonna bother with tha daily double today but i like tha questions so...
Daily Double:
1. Do you have any posters or pictures on your bedroom walls? ...i have a large picture of Lauren of the first time she ever saw snow :) i also have 2 scan pictures of ma babies which i didn't think were appropriate for anywhere else...
2. If you had to give up one, which sense would you give up (sight, smell, touch, hear, taste)? ...most definitely taste... i wouldn't like to live without seeing, hearing, touching or smelling my children on the soppy side but also dieting would be a damn site easier if i couldn't taste chocolate ;)
