Chaos
I … am … blogging in the middle of a crowded hallway. That kind of sounds like a joke or the introduction to an anecdote – but it’s not. It’s just true. I was talking to my friend Molly last… continue reading »
high-maintenance
I like to think of myself as having a calm, type-B personality. But this wouldn’t be true. I am one of the most type-A, high-maintenance, OCD, frazzled person you know – shy I may be. A couple of observations: 1.… continue reading »
