Trying to find the perfect gift for someone during the holidays can be hard. When you are stuck at condo shopping it can be even harder. When I was pregnant with my kid I was confined to bed rest as well as I had to do all of my holiday shopping online. The largest concern
I’m not the type of woman who strays from a great thing once I find it. If I find a restaurant I like, I’m going to eat there daily. If I find a clothing store that matches my taste, it’s the only arena I”m going to shop. If I find a church where the message

My Grandmother used to always say that I was going to “catch my death of cold”. I never unquestionably knew what that meant and I can’t say that I do now either. I am a fairly intelligent man and I understand how viruses work. You can’t get a chilly from being chilly and I know
I easily hate to sound like a high repair person… but maybe I am, actually. I’ve never thought of myself as being tough to please, but at the end of the afternoon, I do require a bit more care plus concern than other people around me, however part of this is due to my super
My fireplace is getting fixed tomorrow, & I cannot wait! I am so gleeful to finally have my fireplace back! I have never been this long separate from a fireplace, then my family had a fireplace growing up, & every single apartment that my husband & I have lived in has had a fireplace. My
Today has been such a miserable one… Last night should have been a lot of fun, because it was Halloween. Instead, I got stuck at condo taking care of a sick friend all night long… My friend and I did not eat a single piece of candy, let alone put on a costume or go
I feel like I’m being a little bit annoying right now, and I do feel bad about it. Most of the people in my life are waiting for me to make a single decision, and I have been putting it off for weeks. I don’t want to inconvenience my friends and family, but I’m also

Oh, the luxuries of this life. I recently spent the afternoon with one of my best friends that I rarely get to see. She lives all the way on the other side of the country, and I hadn’t seen her for almost five years. Unluckyly, I only got see her for a afternoon, but it
Living with roommates is an severely hard task for me. I am not an extrovert, as well as I have some privacy concerns that make it hard for me to cohabitate with anybody. When you throw in the varying personalities of emotional adults, you wind up with a challenging household. I’ve been dealing with my
I really hate to sound like a high maintenance person… but maybe I am, actually. I’ve never thought of myself as being difficult to please, but at the end of the day, I do require a bit more care and concern than other people around me. Part of this is due to my super strange
Fall and I have a love/hate relationship. Yes, I’m talking about the season, Fall. Fall brings cooler weather and everything pumpkin spice which I actually love! Up North where I live, Fall also turns the leaves the most vibrant, beautiful colors imaginable. With my love for Fall also comes a dread. I hate to guess
I love living in the twenty-first century! The modern conveniences of our lives today are absolutely wonderful. It’s amazing that with the click of a mouse, I can find enormous amounts information on just about anything. I don’t know how people lived without electricity back in the day; I can’t imagine life without it. To
I am so obsessed with small things. Anything that is tiny, I think is cute. My fiance laughs at me all of the time for wanting random things just because they are small. I was at the grocery store the other afternoon, plus I observed a tiny frying pan that was made to fry a
I honestly enjoy my best friend, however he has one of those humans who preferentially panics, and he likes to feed his brain the most frightening information possible plus then ruminate over all of the danger he feels! Unfortunately, as one of the only people that he speaks to, I hear a lot of doom
When I was growing up, I was mortal enemies with my oldest sibling. To be fair, he was a drug addict plus he was regularly up to some shenanigans that tortured the entire family.
