I thought it was time to get a new background for my blog. I’ve had that busy pink background for quite a while, and I was really feeling in the mood for something… different. It’s a little crisper, less frilly, and very satisfying for the onset of autumn and its Read more…
So I’ve come to an important, though albeit disappointing, realization today. I am way too intolerant these days. Quick tempered, easily frustrated with others, not as patient as I should be….RAWR! Sometimes I feel like I could just bite someone’s head off!! Unfortunately, I tend to feel this way at Read more…
