When my husband gets home from Alabama, I might be able to work up the guts to drop in on someone unannounced by myself. Does that count? lolNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993502569209583377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486575117120309203.post-19723009276276928682009-03-11T22:17:00.000-03:002009-03-11T22:17:00.000-03:00This post is so about me and my husband.

I think people from the states think it sounds lovely and warm and fuzzy because many of us are lonely. But if push came to shove (or knock to ring) we'd tire of CONSTANT visits too.
