Sigh. I had been so excited to buy this beautiful beige trenchcoat. Super excited. I hadn’t owned a trenchcoat in ages. Why I wanted to wear one now, is anyone’s guess. Could be I felt I needed extra protection. Could be I really wanted the pockets. Whatever the […]
I am a big fan of binge watching. Huge fan. I have even gotten into heated conversations over the merits of binge-watching. Although, I have not recently been able to do that with my current favorite shows. Sadly, the pandemic has taken up too much of my time. […]
For the past few years, cell phones seemed to be primarily used for texting, tweeting, and everything else but talking. Then the year of covid-19 hit and talking on cell phones has made a comeback. All sorts of phone calls are happening again. However, phone etiquette remains abysmally […]
