Ta Da!

2008-06-29T21:50:27Z

The words we choose to use have an affect on us. Thus, when I make a list of things I have to do, I don't call it a to do list anymore. Instead, I write "Ta Da! List" at the top of the page. When I check off a completed task, the Ta Da! at the to...

Russian Daylight is 8:00 PM my time . . .

Where Would Shaney Go?

2008-03-26T12:18:53Z
