Momma Kiss: 17

Monday, January 24, 2011

17

17 seconds ago, I took a sip of coffee.

17 minutes ago, I listened to my work voice mail.

17 hours ago, I watched a football game with my family.

17 days ago, I was out having sushi with my 'hood mommas.

17 months ago, I was recovering from elective surgery

17 years ago, my little brother was killed in a car accident.

He was 17.

The date was January 17, 1994.

I kind of hate the number 17.

Carpe Diem, PTA. Save me a spot.
