Who's has experienced a New NSV Lately ?
I worked in the medical field and I left the job one week before my surgery. i dont keep in touch with any of my co workers. last night at the mall a lady came up to my daughter and said 'are you Paige?" she looked at me and said yes. she said i worked with your mom could you please tell her to call me. my daughter started to laugh and said shes right here... the co worker looked at me and just jaw hit the ground ! all i could do was smile this morning I get up to 6 e-mails from old co workes wanting to know what I did.... if that wasnt enough to make me beam thru the mall i went into a store hot topic *punk* store to pick up Christmas presents and they had skinny jeans snake skin print on clearence..so i tried them on in a size 12 they fit with room to give so I put on an 11 !!!!!!!!!!! my daughter cried NOOOOO you cant wear cool clothes !! I LOVE my band <3<3<3 Amy
