    lol it’s OK. I haven’t eaten yet and it’s 2 pm and it’s all my fault… and that game I can’t seem to quit.

    “I wish I knew what to do with some cardstock right about now. My mojo disappeared.”

    Granted, you make a nice sculpture out of paper mache and have no more card stock for when your mojo returns

    I wish I had some mojo… candies. I used to buy tons of them when I was young

  4. Becky July 5, 2009 at 6:10 pm

    I wish — the Mariners would sweep Boston!

  5. Crystal July 5, 2009 at 6:12 pm

    I hit refresh, but then take too long to think of a new wish…

    –I wish I knew what to do with some cardstock right about now. My mojo disappeared.
    Granted but when you do you cant seem to find the card stock–

    Ok, that’s a little too accurate! LOL

    “I wish I had some mojo… candies. I used to buy tons of them when I was young”

    Granted, but when you open them, there isn’t anything inside… they’re just wrappers.

    “i wish i could still shut him up”

    Granted, but then he wants to dance with you and keeps stepping on your toes.

    I wish for Puzzle could correct her meal schedule.

  6. ELLIE July 5, 2009 at 6:12 pm
