A Time To Dust, A Time To Watch, And A Time To Pale

While I dusted, I pondered to myself. "Why is it that the items that Santa brought me are still in the boxes and collecting dust?" I sprayed a paper towel with Windex and dusted them off. "Dusting...dusting...dusting...it's quite disgusting. Dearest Miss Shelley, to have a need for something purchased through Windows shopping on Amazon 3… Continue reading A Time To Dust, A Time To Watch, And A Time To Pale
