  • Writing Wednesdays

    As I write this I am suffering from the coffee jitters. Believe it or not I have only had one cup of coffee, but drinking coffee on an empty stomach, a really bad idea. I try, about once a week, to get out of the house for some me time. There is this cute cafe…

  • The Hair Fair

    When I was young, ten maybe? I had an English project where I was supposed to write a poem. I don’t do poety by the way, no matter how much I love it. So my poem was about a hair fair. I wish I knew where that poem was now. I created it with help…

  • “You can never be overdressed or overeducated”

    a quote from Oscar Wilde, one of my personal favorite play writes. Ever since I’ve heard this phrase I’ve really embraced it. I definitely think it’s a good way to live through life. I know so many people who complain about how they never wear that outfit they bought because it’s too fancy. I often get…
