So, I made a fucking vision board. It was like a craft project, which I've never really had the patience for. Ask that "scrapbook" over there. I had grand plans to do one for every kid and their first few years of life, but as of right now, it's just a bunch of poorly at-home [...]
Sunday I will be sleeping in a different bedroom in a different house, and when I refer to the room and the bed I’m presently typing from, I will call it “old bedroom.” […]
You know that scene in Forrest Gump where he’s been running and running, and he’s wearing that ridiculous trucker hat with a beard, looking like some dude I’d probably date if I wasn’t married or afraid of hair in my teeth? […]
