We cross paths with certain people for certain periods of time and for certain reasons. It's not as if it's a planned thing. I didn't meet someone in 2002 and decide we'd … Continue reading Changing Seasons

99 Things
Here's something I did on my old blog a long time ago. I decided to do it again to see if I've managed to complete any more of the things on the list. It's kind of a to do list... but it's not my bucket list... that's a different post. The ones that are bolded … Continue reading 99 Things
A Road Rage Rant
I drive a lot. Mostly to and from work. Believe me, that's more than enough. They say the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Well, the closest thing I can find to a straight line is one of the curviest roads that you can find in this part of Virginia. See, it's … Continue reading A Road Rage Rant

There’s No Reason
Caution: This post is a vent session. If you don't want to read my current complaints, go somewhere else. Do you ever have days where you just don't want to be around people?
