Greetings, blogging friends. I'm baaack! At least I think I am. I seriously thought I'd never be back. I've returned from a ten-day trip to Los Angeles, fun-filled with chlorine, ocean spray, and not enough sunscreen. I swam in the ocean for at least an hour and the water never felt so warm at 70 degrees. Can … Continue reading I Thought I’d Never Be Back

I want to know why
Dear readers, I am seeking answers. I need your help. I want to know why when I take medicine with a measurement cup all the lines on the cup are faint and fuzzy.

Faulty Memories
I haven't seen my sister Shelly for over a week now. I think I may have overreacted. She's probably not an alien. I'm just having bad PMS and freaked out. I suppose it's only normal for someone to think about their past when they're going through a crisis. Still it seemed out of place. One day, … Continue reading Faulty Memories
