Things are trudging forward and it looks like we may actually be heading toward an April move. {Fingers crossed. And toes.} There are many factors that led us to want a change, but probably most of all is the fact that we just don’t belong in our neighborhood. After much thought, I’ve come to the [...]

Dear iPhone,
I have long come to terms with the fact that I have a bit of a potty mouth. I’m not especially proud of it, but it’s a part of who I am. It’s just the way it is. My parents are no longer shocked and appalled by my language. My friends all expect it [...]

I’ve spent a good deal of my life frustrated with other people: People who constantly run late, while I’m inevitably early. People who neglect to RSVP to parties, while I always do within a few days. People who mail things weeks later than they promised, while I make a point out of getting to the [...]
