Did you know Valentine’s Day is right around the corner? Oh, right, you probably do, given the constant barrage of guilt-inducing, wallet-breaking, comparison making advertisements that are absolutely everywhere you turn. My hubbie knows too, but he won’t be getting me anything for this red letter holiday. I know it’s possible when you just […]

I never should have been in the bar that night. It was like going into the grocery store when you haven’t eaten all day. Everything looks way better than it really is, and you gravitate towards the stuff that isn’t very good for you. And so it was the night I met my husband. […]
