It always amuses me when I receive comments from people saying how much they enjoy my blog, or how they laughed out loud at something I said. It’s not that I don’t think I’m entertaining. I get laughed at a lot. I’m just not sure it’s always in a complimentary sort of way. When it [...]

Man, truer words have ne’er been spoken. So…remember last semester? You know, when I worked my butt off all day, every day until I finally had a wee nervous breakdown?

Yesterday, I had a most startling realization, startling mostly because of how ridiculously obvious it is. Are you ready? Here goes it: I CAN DO MY LAUNDRY ON ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
