This last weekend teaser of 80 degree springtime weather? Holy nuts and bolts. We’re screwed.  Or if anyone else’s upper lip is perspiring just thinking about this past weekend then you are not alone.

  The in between. The what is and what is not. The gray area. The glass that is both half empty & half full.  The I’m kind of fat, but not really.  Current. Mood. I think I finally figured out why someone out there decided to make an Advent calendar. Something needs to hold me […]
