I’ve been mulling over this post for several days. I’m still not sure of it–not sure what it should say, or if I really want to put it out there in the universe. It won’t be light or humorous, and it might show a side of me I don’t like revealing, and so I have … More February was so long that it lasted into March*

Occasionally you might hear me explaining that my mother, who has a decent rack, divided her boob genes between … More Hexed in the WHAT?
