TV reminded me about this yesterday and I spent the rest of the day putting happy into me. I love these. They make me smile ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm still here. Life is eating me. I've a slew of papers to grade every night and I usually spend from 8am until 9pm grading, teaching, exercising, or dealing with work. I may take an hour to relax with the TV or video games, though ( Read more... )
