pop the champagne

I say goodbye to 2011 and enter 2012 so angry and frustrated I just don’t even understand the point of… anything. Oh, don’t get your panties in a bunch, this isn’t some suicidal cry for help.

T-Day

We happen to have a friend whose mother lives in Minneapolis. She invited us over for Thanksgiving. We accepted because we knew the kitchen would be in no damn shape for cooking, plus our friend would be in town and it would give us a chance to see him. In many ways it was entertaining to get to see the little family quirks of people I was not related to. At the same time, I haven’t not made a... read more
