I tend to be one of those people who’s either super chill and zen or stressed to the gills – so much so that I stress out everyone in a twenty-seven mile radius. There doesn’t seem to be any middle ground. So, if you happen to be in a twenty-seven mile radius of me when […]
It time for another favorite things post – this month it’s quotes. I adore quotes. Seriously love them. These are just a few of my favorites that are frequently used in daily life – some for writing, some for not-writing. “In this parade of stupid and dumb, I am the one twirling the flaming […]

Oh, and also the perfect scent. But I’ll share a few of my favorites with you. Also, I apologize for all the wonky spacing […]

This should be interesting. I can’t wait to see what people who aren’t me spend too much time doing. In the meanwhile, I’ll post my list. And be sure to share some of the things you spend too much time doing, too. Playing around on social media sites. It’s rarely ever hopping from site to […]
