Summer is coming to a close. And, I am obsessed with that fact. Some might push back and remind me that technically we still have 30 days till autumn officially begins. But everyday from this weekend through August I’m going to be thinking of how I can make […]
Let’s be clear. Summer is almost over. I already received my son’s September lunch menu selection. We are already contemplating his after school activities. And, I just calendarized winter break. Winter is coming. Forgot autumn. Luckily I finally got my act together and made an appointment to renew […]
Strange voices are saying (What did they say?) Things I can’t understand -Bananarama Yes, most definitely strange voices are talking to me. They are telling me all sorts of odds and ends. They are telling me I need to step it up. But I counter that I always […]
