30 Days of Truth: Day 24

Ugh, I’ve been dreading this one.  I’m really not a big music person… there are a lot of songs I can sing along with but ask me who sings them or what they are called? Forget it… I’m not going to do a playlist for just one person, because I’ll never come up with the songs but I’ll just give …

I just got back from dropping my mother off at the airport.  I’m a bit down and I miss her already but I’ve learned over the years that if I let myself wallow I can sometimes not drag myself back out, so I try to keep myself occupied until it passes.   When I got home I checked my RSS feed …

Canada, Baby!

I’m in Canada, yay!! I’m really tired so don’t know how much I’ll have to say. “Project Baby” was a no-go yet again *Sigh* Everyone who says trying is fun lies.. sex is fun, sex with a purpose other than an orgasm is not. I’m trying not to get too obsessed about it but it gets tiring every month wondering …
