•
1 min read
For all the cubicle workers out there. This is probably one of my favorite e-cards that I’ve gotten so far. I can be very sarcastic, especially when I’m upset, mad, or frustrated. But over the years I’ve improved, trying to show the grace that I’ve received. Thanks, grrl.

Look, these are only $30 on Amazon! I posted about them back in November. I gotta stop looking at all these deals. I've been buying online too much. Online shopping is addicting! I've also been sharing some of the deals at the bottom of this page. People have been asking me where I find them.…

Thanksgiving should be spent with family at home, not at the ER. That's where my dad went for a few hours today because of heart palpitations. Things are fine now, but I'm glad he's ok and that my mom's ok as well. I always say you can tell how she's doing, healthwise, by how much…

My days have been filled with lessons, lesson planning, eating, hand-washing my clothes, and shopping for food and other necessities.

The surprise Best Picture Oscar winner last year. And not a bad movie at that. I am by no means a movie critic, nor do I watch movies all that often for that matter. But this movie was super intense, maybe because racial issues really get me riled up. Is it because I am part…

The second one was stronger. It lasted 40 seconds, but in those seconds, energy equivalent to several nuclear bombs was released. Some scientists say that the…

Can someone tell me what on earth is going on? Last night’s episode was exactly what some people predicted about the show. I hate when the episode ends. The show is like a drug — it just leaves you wanting more.
