Hola chicas. You might’ve noticed that I’ve been a bit MIA lately. I’m taking a time-out to dedicate some time to… a novel!

Each weekday evening ends with this solemn promise to myself: I will not be a crazy person in the coming dawn.

On this Veteran’s Day I’m so grateful for all the men and women who have served this country – especially the Hubs. Thank you for your service. As Thanksgiving is also approaching, I’m pondering my gratitude lists (of course I have lists; Virgo girl here!). I believe it’s time to once again update my favorite …
Kimba is NOT Wonder Woman. Not even close. I don’t have access to a magical invisible airplane that can transport me into the city in a quick minute (but wouldn’t that be crazy cool being that commuting worships at the temple of suck?!). I can’t whip out that golden lasso of truth to cut through …
