For Lent this year I gave up asking people what Lent is about. I honestly don’t get it, but I won’t ask about it again until after whatever day it is that Lent is over. Maybe Easter? The few things … Continue reading

You know, it wasn’t always easy growing up as the youngest, and only girl in the family. My brother CJ is 8 years older than me, and my brother Barry is 5 years older. They called me Brat for so … Continue reading
