Ughhh, Monday's! - w4m
Date: 2011-07-25, 7:04AMUgghhh to Monday's, right?!
Why do the weekends go by so fast? Another start to a wonderful work week! Hehehe. Yet here I am on Craigslist looking for a Monday morning distraction, I could definitely use some good conversation to help get through the day! Anyone else in the same boat, if so drop me a line.
I'm 36 and Hispanic, if it matters at all...
