Speaking of not censoring myself anymore…

Cathy | January 11, 2010

You might notice it looks a little bit different around here.
I finally wrote that About page and we cleaned things up a bit.  I say “we” because my husband did all the actual work.
I was happy with the basic design, I just wanted it to be a little simpler, cleaner, and for it to be [...]

A Case of the Mondays

Cathy | April 20, 2009

Don’t get all uppity with me, people with jobs. I’m perfectly entitled to have a case of the Mondays and spend the day moping around feeling sorry for myself.
