The Best Job in the World
The other day while surfing channels I chanced upon a news story that made me stop.

And yet I had made a lot of assumptions about this silver-haired person with a … Continue reading The Best Job in the World
So I’m Bossy Now
The other day my husband remarked, "Of late you've become so bossy." I told him I was tired of being nice because I never got anything I wanted. The kids keep telling me to stop yelling and I'm like if I ask you nicely you just don't do it, so I have to yell to … Continue reading So I’m Bossy Now

So things haven't changed for the better since my last post. I'm still looking for work and resigning myself to the fact that I will have to wait until next year for something to come my way.

Thankful for the Weirdest Things
