Hi, you. Have a good weekend? I flew in last night after my weekend in Portland, and am floating around today in recovery mode. I have all sorts of things to share with you. Everything from people watching on the plane and how an old lady kept calling me “little girl” to poems about my […]

Cuteness overload

May 31, 2011

Yesterday evening, while digging for something else, I ran into a few pieces of writing on an old hard drive. A few oooold pieces of writing on an oooold hard drive. Most of what I found was…atrocious. Let’s just say that it will never, never ever ever, ever ever see the light of day. But […]
