Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!
Timely fodder for this month--stuff about love... Plus today is my mom and dad's 43rd wedding anniversary. (Imagine that)!

Becoming
This morning I woke up with the migraine of life. And no voice--I've been practically whispering since Friday. I was a little frustrated because illness generally effs with my psyche not to mention my plans. As for my plans, it eliminated the opportunity to get in my morning run--a newly revisited endeavor (because a girl needs [...]
