Quotes

  • [in regards to friends calling her a "very organized person"]

    Honestly, I'm not. I'd like to be and I really admire people who know where everything is. As for me, I have to double-check to be sure I have answered a friend's last letter or that last month's bills aren't still sitting on my desk.
