I haven’t had much time to write lately, I’m sorry. Things like sleep and work have been more immediately necessary. Anyway, a few of those vital updates that I know you can’t live without: I discovered yesterday that if you wear loud enough earrings (literally and otherwise), no one will notice that you’re tired and…
Cheese Toasty Good
It’s Friday night, and I found myself with some free time, which is a lovely thing to find yourself in possession of. I bought a bunch of groceries today, but most of them are earmarked for things other than dinner tonight. That left me wondering what in the world would make its way to my…
