About a week ago, I started getting a strange text message. One of those that is all “familiar” and such, but you have no idea who it’s from. Which is odd because I’ve had the same number for over 2 years now. Anyway, as odd as the text was, I ignored it and its strange [...]
I have a scone to pick with Starbucks. In particular, one Starbucks. Otherwise known as the Starbucks Coffee Shop of Lowered Self-Esteem. Seriously.

On my way to the baby section, I reviewed my notes and highlighted options. I was prepared; I had pre-shopped online. I [...]
Before I went on my beach vacation a few weeks ago, I thought I’d try something new. I’d get my legs waxed. Like most women, I hate shaving my legs. I hate it for a lot of reasons, but mainly because I wake up really early to get ready and commute 90 minutes to work, [...]
