Re: Meant to be... Flicka Med Guld... -- overdoing Christmas shopping?

[Guest guest]

Oh my goodness... The link wouldn't work for me, so I looked it up. Beautiful. I only know a few of the words (because you told me what they were lolol), but it is beautiful to listen to.

Nope, I don't think it makes you sound shallow at all. It's not as if you'd "see" her want for a library before you saw her eyes. <gg>

Your last paragraph just made me smile. Very, very sweet you two are. )

Great. Now that song is in my head and I can tell it will be there for a long time.

Push me in the shallow water before I get too deep...

I prefer push over choke and didn't know that was the word until I just checked myself. LOL
