Today

Today, I love you. Today, I hate you. This week, I love you, This week, I hate you. Can this go on, it has for years. This love hate relationship, is now over. I am kicking you to the curb, to the trash can you must go. Did you figure me out, I am your bathroom scale. Hooray~you are gone.

Cute one. Those scales can be upsetting for sure. It is not their fault, but it is nice to blame it on them. The old scales used to have a button on them that you could just turn back and it would fix the weight problem instantly. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. This one reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Sara
