I like this idea, too. I know I was feeling really 'hormonally
unabalanced' the last few days and kept thinking and saying things that
I knew were silly logically, but emotionally, my mind had a mind of its
own. My dear hubby got the worst of it - then, it turns out he had
bought me a beautiful poem/picture 'to my wife' - wow, i felt like a
heel!!! Hormones, aren't they wonderful?!?! Throw in some lupron and
paxil and I can be a real hoot somedays!
Hope everyone is having a good night,
luv, Amy
