Things That Go Bump In The Night
If you’re lucky, once in a lifetime an opportunity will come along that will change the entire course of your future. Friday night was such an opportunity for me. My friend’s husband plays in a band and she invited several … Continue reading
I Saw Something Blanking Santa Claus
I feel the need to discuss a very serious issue plaguing our country: Kitty Porn. I try not to judge but personally I think it’s disgusting. I know there are people out there who enjoy looking at pictures of innocent cats … Continue reading
The Year Jane Ruined Christmas
We’ve all seen the Grinch Who Stole Christmas and A Christmas Carol, but I know a real family who will never have Christmas again. It all started with a crying 6 year old, and not to point fingers, but she … Continue reading

Time To Give Back
I guess many of you have embraced Black Friday as a shopping ritual. To me, Black Friday is a fate worse than death. The crowds, the pushing and shoving and parents yelling at their kids and little kids crying and waiting … Continue reading
Ready, Aim, Miss By A Country Mile
I wrote about making it through high school PE, but my troubles didn’t end there. In my last semester of college the only thing standing between me and my B.A. in Russian History was a sports class. I figured no … Continue reading
