There are times in life where they mesh and combination is perfect. But when we go back later or we move on and pick up the old, it just isn't the same.<br /><br />I'm still hooked on Denise Swanson myself. I mark her next book release date on my calendar, race to the store and then devour the book in one evening :-) Once Filtodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676881223204883783.post-45856661413027216912009-10-10T19:29:07.259-05:002009-10-10T19:29:07.259-05:00Uninspired - good way to put it.
