Book: Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah
Wow. Not the best book I ever read, but that ending caught me. I was literally sobbing. That's so not like me.
Overall an interesting read that held my attention. Moments of poignancy; nothing super "good" in terms of literary quality. But I enjoyed it. -
Tripping over ones own feet
For the last few weeks I've noticed I've been stumbling a bit. When walking (duh, when else would one stumble).

Nobody was banging down my door to hire me, and I really had no idea about working or the real world, having not really ever had a job (that summer ( Read more... ) -
Spicing things up a bit

Being an adult is a pain sometimes
Sometimes I hate being an adult. Like in the mornings when I have to check my tires to see if I need to put air in before I go to work because my car is old and my rims are a bit dicey and my tires sometimes leak a bit ( Read more... )
