Monday night of this week was a dark night of the soul for me. Okay, it was more like a dusky evening of my mind if I’m being honest. I just needed to grab your attention. Basically I laid in bed having a pity party for myself. “Pity, party of 1? Your table is…
Every year it seems I go back and forth on New Years resolutions. Do I like them? Do I not like them? Will I make any? Will I ever get them done? Where am I? Is this a Christmas coma? Happy New Year? What year is it? Who am I? That sort of thing. Every…

Do you remember how it’s now technically Monday and I didn’t post a thing over the weekend? Yeah. Me neither. Let’s move on. For those of you who religiously…
Please don’t anyone be mad at me but I’m about to start another story and not finish it. It’s just how it goes! Life happens and I’m easily distracted. I will bring you Roman Holiday pt. II in the near future. I will also finish this story. I promise. In the meantime, enjoy this little…
