Then I decided to slow down, let some projects sit, not argue, and just be more laid back. Result? I fall asleep within fifteen minutes and if something wakes me I go right back to sleep, I don't set an alarm anymore yet I still wake up when I need to.safe medshttp://www.safemedspharmacy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-88824180104189247382011-10-30T13:38:35.960-04:002011-10-30T13:38:35.960-04:00Wow!

After holding on to it for the past few decades, Rosanne Cash decided to turn that gift into The List, her new album. - http://www.npr.org/2011/08/19/113496614/rosanne-cash-runs-down-her-fathers-list?ft=1&f=13&sc=17Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746848980923855417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-48296462995236836722011-08-22T09:42:13.215-04:002011-08-22T09:42:13.215-04:00I think I did go from Good Night Moon to Jackie Co...I think I did go from Good Night Moon to Jackie Collins,or Valley of the Dolls anyway, hmm...
