February 12, 2011 - Happy Birthday to me! I bought Wreck This Journal at Barnes & Noble in Burbank, CA.
Was not really hard to start with it. I always crack spines and I write in books.
But it's kind of fun to be really allowed to ;-)
I was standing on my deck with Sean, just after having picked up Patience without using my hands, when I suddenly flung her across the lawn. Sean and I just looked at each other and said at the same time "Sudden destructive movement." This is why we're soulmates.
This is a picture of how Patience landed.
wrecking balls were formerly a pear-shape with a portion of the top cut off and they are currently spherical. This picture was taken in the 1950s. Pear-Shaped wrecking balls were used from 1922-1966. They do not make wrecking balls like this anymore and McDonald's did not do PlayPlaces yet when wrecking balls were like this but McDonald's does do PlayPlaces now.
