Somehow, I caught a bug this past week… and have been trying real hard to kick it… but it likes me a lot and wants to stay for 3 weeks. SOO between blowing my nose, coughing, and trying to sleep… I’ve been trying to keep my “work as usual” routine. I’ve had several excited music […]

ENGAGEMENT

I saw this one movie one time where the father of the main character tells her that everyone has the exact love life they want. I watched that movie like 5 years ago… and I’m still not sure what I think about that statement. But something I do know is that life is made up […]
