Maybe you don’t do this, Squiders. Maybe I am alone in my oddity. But there are times, when I’m staring at my bookcase, trying to decide on what to read next, when I’ll look at a book. And I’ll say,
The Pitfalls of Christmas Creativity
Ah, squiders. If you’re anything like me, you occasionally have these ideas where you’re going to make some or all of your Christmas presents for the year. And, if you’re anything like me, it occasionally goes terribly awry. There was
Winter Has Come
Do you ever have those days–or weeks in this case–where your ability to adult just kind of falls apart? Yeeeeeaaaahhh. I’m going to at least partially blame it on the weather. We dropped below freezing mid-morning on Monday and have
