fallas (Evelyn F Smith):
A plan, huh? I don't know about THAT.
"The best laid plans of mice and men...," you know.
Umm. . .how about this: I plan to have fun and to be happy.
And to make others happy, too!
And to love a certain wonderful man forever!
(:@ You know who you are, darling! %:)
God be with you, whoever is looking at my "Plan." And Jesus Christ His Son
guide you so that you, too, will know as much joy as I do right now. &:D

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
Don't pull too hard, like a kite in the wind
You'll break the string, when I reel you in
Don't take off flying all on your own
When you finally come knocking, there'll be nobody home
Nobody Home
