thank. full.

11 . 27 . 08
Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite. For many years we had an abundance of people over to imbibe except last year I was a giant pregnant lady so I waddled over to my neighbor’s house instead.

And here I sit famously procrastinating the packing and kissing my animals goodbye. In my adult life I have … Continue reading thank. full. →

Thank you for your incredibly thoughtful and moving stories about why you voted and what you experienced on election day. They, of course, made … Continue reading oh happy day →

Dear Americans, Well now, this election is definitely really important as evidenced by the hoards of people standing in line for 5-11 hours. Let’s hope there isn’t any fraudulent activity or I might just lose all hope at a fair election. Anyway. Today I write on my blog to tell you to get off yer keester and make a choice; I am especially writing to those of you who I don’t know who have emailed me or linked to me … Continue reading today. oh.
