Jordan turns 13 at the end of this month and she is a really great kid.<BR/><BR/>ok that ended up being longer than i thought it would...sorry!<BR/><BR/>bottom line i LOVE your idea!<BR/><BR/>so SURE, WHY NOT!Mamarazzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053091142306052509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-950304612174314828.post-39393740563046745592008-08-17T22:20:00.000-05:002008-08-17T22:20:00.000-05:00I'm interested to see how your experiment goes.
