Star Wars on Acid
Let’s just get it out there – I did drugs when I was younger. My first husband, The Loser, was a big fan of all drugs, legal and illegal. And being young and stupid, I joined in. It wasn’t a great decision as my thinking wasn’t really clear when I was high and I often […]
Clash of the Tiny Titans
I think we’ve already established that I wasn’t the most popular girl in school, although I desperately wanted to be in the “in” crowd. As a result, I had a love-hate relationship with the mean girls in school. I really wanted them to accept me and let me be a part of their […]

My mother inherited this trait and after the dream home was built, it was the site of many social gatherings. On any […]
