It’s so nice when loved ones enable harmless delusions*. Take a look at my sexy man. Jealous much? Try not to drool, you don’t want to short circuit your keyboard. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY *Delusion: commonly defined as a fixed false belief...  Read More »

February is a tag-on month. It didn’t even exist when the Romans first started what would become our calendar. The goal was to merge the moon’s 29 ½ day month with the sun’s 365 ¼ day year.

Okay, I don’t really want to kick someone when they’re down, but……OH MY GOODNESS BRITNEY SPEARS! What the heck kind of crazy colors is she seeing in her world? I actually had a conversation with my mom last night about the chaos that is Britney Spears. I made a comment that she’s just going through normal 25 year old newly single mother things. Apparently, my mother disagreed. She then went on her own rant about how Britney Spears...  Read More »
