I went with a light blue eyeshadow and some pink lip stick. I didn't want to over do it. I thought Ishould just keep it simple. Finish, I was ready to...go. Oh wait shoes. Ican't walk around barefoot. I went back to the closet to get the tennisshoes that I have wore from the hospital. Damn, really? Where are they?Matter of fact, where is the box of my old clothes?

The harder he pulled the more.
