I am very thankful & looking forward to an evening filled with unexpected happenings.
My birthday is on 1.31. I have always liked the number 13 because as long as I remember, 13 was taught to be feared and hated. Some hotels even omit the 13th floor from their elevator buttons! I find this to be both humorous and ridiculous. I enjoy liking things that other people fear. My…
