I finally made the complete switch yesterday. You know what? It's a little brighter, a little bluer, and I have to wait about 15 seconds for full light, but I really don't care. It's good for th...

One of my best friends used to work on Supernanny, and it was her job to locate a black taxi wherever they shot the episode. I get these text messages saying "Do you have any idea how hard it is t...

I lived on a farm for a year after grad school. I made elderflower concentrate. It was a pain to take all those teeny flowers off, but it was the coolest thing I'd ever done. I brought a bottle ...
Wow, people are getting touchy!
I don't think confusing two words is a sign of laziness. It's a mistake. Let's be a little more forgiving.
