I am a forgetful and careless person. In elementary school my teachers would always report to my mom and dad during parent teacher conferences, "She's a bright girl but she rushes through her work and makes careless mistakes." More than one of my bosses has listed "attention to detail" as a development area on my … Continue reading You Gonna Learn Today – Returning to Work (Part 3)
Student loan forbearance is totally a thing. Here's why it's not my thing.
I have a confession. I live in my car or at least you would think that I do if you've ever ridden in Silver Betty. "You can just toss that shoe/shirt/purse/folder/cup/trash in the backseat/trunk/under the seat," I say to any and every passenger who gets into my vehicle between her biannual cleanings.

"A Holly Jolly Christmas" induces digestive pyrotechnics. "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" makes me want to end it all. I swear I am not a … Continue reading Last Christmas vs This Christmas
