I have to get away from it or it will happen for hours. 85.My bed is made daily. Always. No holidays. I can’t focus unless I know it’s made. 86.I love cooking for boys.

I am proud of that fact and very thankful for our goodies. 88.If I think I hurt your feelings I will apologize. If I don’t apologize it’s because I had no idea. Please tell me, and I’ll gladly apologize, then I will cry really hard for whatever it was-it will be ugly. 89.I can play the piano. {I think…I haven’t played in awhile} 90.I am not that interesting and having difficulties with these last ones… 91.I don’t answer my phone.
