I have a bone to pick with Tuesdays. They catch me off-guard. Mondays are Mondays, you know? They’re rough and no one really likes them, but you expect that. Then Tuesday comes along and I think everything will be better. The work week is 20% complete, and I’ve got my feet on the ground with…

Dove Promises (Or do they?)
I’m not a huge chocolate eater most of the time. Despite that, I got a bag of Dove Promises chocolates a few years ago.
