A Few Days Off

 

Blur, originally uploaded by margosita.

My best friend from childhood is coming to San Francisco for the weekend. I'm not going to get a bit of writing done, but having sent off work to both my thesis adviser and writing group in the last two days, I'm not feeling too guilty about this.

Once, as teenagers, we stretched out on our backs on her kitchen floor. We faced in opposite directions so that we turned to look at the other our faces where chin to forehead. When she spoke I watched her mouth and it looked as though her top lip was her bottom lip. If you've never done this all I can say is that is looks ridiculous and it made us giggle. When her mother walked into the kitchen a few minutes later she simply stepped over us murmuring, "Oh, girls." We rolled with laughter and clutched at our stomachs.

This is business as usual around Vanessa.

According to my own monitoring, millions of persons all over the world receive the mortgage loans from well known creditors. Therefore, there's a good possibility to get a commercial loan in any country.
