25 is the new 18
Monday, October 29th, 2007Tomorrow is my 25th birthday. For some reason, 25 always seemed like a true benchmark of adulthood in my younger years. I always told myself that I wanted to have children by 25, that I’d have my degree by 25, and I’d surely own a home by 25… Hrm. 0/3. I guess I’m not really [...]
PS- I’m a MRSA survivor

Sunday, October 14th, 2007My dear husband is one of the most difficult people to coax out of bed before noon on Sundays. Although his vocabulary is pretty limited at that point, he can mutter out “pancakes” and I can usually bribe him out of bed with breakfast. What better way to celebrate my newly re-acquired lazy Sundays than [...]
