The Scarlet Letter

Posted on September 19, 2010

I don’t know about you, but I am dyyyyyyyyyyyyyying to see Easy A. Come hell or high water, I am going this week.

Fix Clock

Posted on June 16, 2010

I have a chalkboard on my wall that lists things I have to do. There are some things on this list that are finished right away, like ‘laundry’ or ‘buy OJ’, and there are some things that take a little longer, like ‘finish writing novel.’ That one, I just checked off. But there are some things that will never get checked off the list… Continue reading →
