It’s so stupid. I have these moments where I’ll be sitting there, and I’m like I am so deeply and profoundly sad and for half a second I forget why. Then it’s like….duh you dumbass. Obviously!

Keeping Secrets
For years, I kept my autoimmune diseases a secret from my mom to prevent her from feeling undeservedly guilty.
Alright Universe, You Win
About once a week I head up to my Mom’s to help her with cleaning such as the vacuuming and mopping. She’s disabled and it’s hard for her and really wears her out. Since I work for myself I’ve got the time to help and I like going up and seeing her too. Yesterday I…

Fun Monday But Dreading Tuesday
Normally Mondays are the day no one likes. But today, I hung out with my Mom so it was a good day. We went to the mall and shopped and browsed and tried things on and just generally had a nice time. Found a pair of capris and a pair of shorts on clearance and…

I’ve added a few things in the past week or so to the shop and thought I’d just do a small post showing off the newer pieces. As always, I appreciate any links, or tweets or wall posts, etc. of my shop and/or items. In other words, if you want to share anything, THANKS! 🙂…
