Books Aaaaaalllll the books right now. Since the election, reading is my coping strategy of choice. I find that I need to check out a lot more lately lest my head explode reading Facebook and Twitter. Book Orders Remember the newsprint fliers you brought home from school with the teeny form you, or your mom with her neat … Continue reading
I read some really good books this year. I became a regular reader again, thanks to living in the future and being able to carry my library in my pocket and read in the dark. I always have a book going and during some parts of the year I would read every day. I definitely … Continue reading
1. What did you do in 2015 that you’d never done before? Worked outside of the house for the first time since Jack was born, over 11 years ago. Sent my last baby to kindergarten. 2.
