I am avoiding starting my 2nd essay for the 3rd day in a row, I Just keeping reading for it, no writing.

I love them to death. But there was a problem that ( Read more... )

I had been writing a fairly long journal entry about once a week, usually posting it on Thursday. I realized that I should be writing shorter journal entries and posting more often. So I wrote an entry the next Tuesday with the intention of writing another one later on that week. Two and half weeks later I am writing my next one. But now I have so ( Read more... )

Three PackagesI am awakened at 10 by the bell, signaling that there is someone at the front door. I throw some clothes on as fast as possible and jet down the stairs to get open the door before the delivery man thinks no one is there. When I collect my packages I see that only two of the items I'd ordered, a laundry hamper and a 40 piece cooking ( Read more... )
