Do I Look a Little Green to You?
I’m really coming to hate this time of year. The thing is, I want to like it. I’m not one of those “Ugh commercialism” or “Ba-humbug it’s just an excuse for people to expect you to buy them things!” kind of people at all. I love the decorations and buying presents and all the events […]

I Demand a Recount
FIRST: Seriously Mother Nature? For several days now I have been reveling in leggings and jackets and warm sweaters and how good a cup of hot spiced cider tastes. The air has been crisp and cool and basically EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. This morning I walk out of my house and was like, “THE EFF???????” Seriously […]
