Dear Reader, We all have instances that have marked us deeply. I remember being around 22, still in college and convinced the world was all cotton candy and rainbows. One day I was at the mall by myself for a while before my friends met up with me. I was Read More

Preping for Paris
Dear Reader, Have I mentioned that I’m going to Paris in two weeks? The trip has been eclipsed by the family health drama and my grandmother’s condition. My mother and I realized Thursday that, holy cow, we were leaving in two weeks – and had nothing ready! I’ve been looking Read More
At least we got to see Captain America’s abs.
Dear Reader, I’m afraid the current run of Marvel movies are determined to underwhelm me. I’ve already touched on how the romance plots are like a forgotten accessory tossed on at the last moment. I know that my opinion of Iron Man isn’t popular, but coming from a person who Read More
Family Crazy
Dear Reader, I wish there was some trick or tool I could tell you that would make your family problems go away. It would be nice, wouldn’t it? That sibling that’s always making the wrong choices, the parent with anger management issues, the grandparent with the tendency to disapprove of Read More

Bidding on Houses
Dear Reader, Today I’m not so calm. I have a few reasons to be a nervous wreck, but today I’ll tell you about one reason in particular. I’m offering on a house and they’re counter offering and I’m about to offer another lower price than I think the seller will Read More
Just call me the Fainting Miss
Dear Reader, Let it never be said I don’t do things that I can’t laugh about. Even if it’s me. Fainting. So let me tell you the whole story, and please – laugh. It will make me feel better. I got to the doctor’s office, almost miserable because I was Read More
Things Doctors Shouldn’t Say
Cancer. Dear Reader, I am of the opinion that doctors should probably not mention potentially life threatening diagnosis before they know better. Because though she said It could be anything from the tiny problem of This, to something as big as Cancer – I only heard Cancer. I know I’m Read More
