Weddings, Christmas, and What It All Really Means
I got really good at packing some time ago. I can bust out a well rounded suitcase in a reasonable amount of time. And unlike many a girlie girl, I can survive on the basics. For example: I abhor needing to bring more than one pair of shoes on any trip. What a pain. Shoes take up so much room.

I’ll probably be including all sorts of stuff, from thoughts to music I can’t stop listening to, to book excerpts, to funny videos, to articles, to generally anything that makes me think, laugh, cry, or respond. What can I compare you...
Excellent. Here we go.
