The snippet and the day that was
Today I drove a far far away in order to hang out with a friend (which was absolutely worth the whole drive) and then we got tennis rackets at 30% off, which was nice. Then we got pants for the…
Upon which I admit to not knowing what I’m doing
How do I not know things, let me count (some) ways . . . First, I really don’t know how to roll up and secure chicken when I’m stuffing it. I made it tonight and the stuffing leaked. I don’t…
when books fail
