I don’t think I will ever open the door under the sink again. However, I wanted to take this one step [...]

I hate early mornings…I really do. When the alarm goes off I either cuss or resist the urge to throw it across the room. Of course, this is probably because it brings the realization that I’m starting yet another long ass day at work. Since I know mornings are always going to be rough times, I’ve devised [...]

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” – Albert Pine

I have the worst time balancing my checkbook.
For the longest time when I was younger, I refused to have a debit card for this reason. I knew I was the type of person who would withdraw money and make purchases and tell myself in vain that I would write them down later. Now that this [...]
