….and look like a total tool in the process.
Last night, Adam made an appearance in California, and we got together to catch up.
And then, after a couple of drinks, we got the brilliant idea to do a video blog. Here it is, in all it’s white trash glory. Please don’t judge me after you watch [...]

Most of you know that California has been ravaged by wildfires this summer. On Friday, a new fire formed (by people shooting at rocks! W.T.F?!) in the area near the west entrance to Yosemite.

We went to Fresno last weekend for my brother’s birthday, so we didn’t have the Little Monster. I have to admit – I missed him. Like, a lot. And when he walked in the door today and said, “Where’s Aaaamaaay?” my cruel, black heart melted a little.
It was a beautiful day today, albeit a little [...]

I had my yearly review at work today, and actually, kids, it wasn’t that bad. My boss took me to Starbucks (where he bought me a coffee!) and we sat outside while he did my review. I thanked him later, because having the review off site, sitting in my favorite place of all [...]
