It was good, my New Year’s. Thanks. What about yours?
15 March 2009 at 5:30 am
My New Year’s wasn’t bad. But my Friday the 13th was not good! The one in Feb. was peachy. Yesterday was terrible. All is safe, now, but my car died twice, I had to get a jump start twice, and then bought a battery, and lost more time from work. But nothing too serious, I guess
29 March 2009 at 2:32 pm
But it’s worse than mine. Nothing happened with me that day, I’m afraid sth will happen other days.
