OMG, Becky! I Almost Forgot…
Musical Monday. Granted, it’s Tuesday, so I’m late! Whatever! Here it is. This song reminds me of my first trip to Paris. Johnny was driving me to the airport and we were singing along to this quite loudly ’cause we were cool like that! “Story of My Life” – Social Distortion
A Helping Hand
For some reason, people constantly ask me for money. Is it because, for the most part, I seemingly have my life in order? Is it because I tend to travel a lot? The reason I’m not destitute is because I don’t live WILDLY beyond my means. I shop at CostCo, Target and Trader Joe’s for … Continue reading
Dirty Business

The place was small, but warm, with one waiter who greeted everyone … Continue reading
