I would like to word to be "no" - meaning it's ok some I say no, or ifsomeone says no to me, or no, I cannot take something on, or no, I do not need dessert every day, or no I will not be making dinner tonight, etc. but that's a little negative I think... <br /><br />I may need to consult dictionary.com.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527178868601047846.post-22072941022984222722011-01-15T20:08:21.446-06:002011-01-15T20:08:21.446-06:00Any bloom looks pretty to me, even if it is experi...Any bloom looks pretty to me, even if it is experiencing difficulties of some kind, especially this time of year.<br /><br />I'm glad to have a reminder of your word of the year.

But maybe a little south of here, she would stand a better chance...as zone 7 covers a huge territory both in, and out, of VA.
