I'm not sure why.... I've attended
Formal and extravagant New Year's eve parties that provided gourmet food and beverages, beautiful decorations, outstanding music and interesting people. Small parties at homes of friends where we watch movies, ate popcorn and watched the Ball drop at … (58 comments)

7 Days Without AR Makes One Weak - 12/20/08 02:12 PM
