When younger I wanted everyone to like me and never said no but now I try to really only say yes because it's something I want to do or feel I really should. Bad habits include being a collector (ummm pack rat lol). I collect lots of books, cups, and cats lol. I stay focused by reading every night to not stress and stop worrying about things.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-72664791601079798172012-12-05T16:46:40.780-05:002012-12-05T16:46:40.780-05:00Hi Romily!
