Although I’ve lived in my current place for less than a year, by the start of this winter, things were totally out of control. Thanks to a busy work schedule, and general exhaustion in the evenings, chaos had begun to rule. Where there once were neat empty counters and desktops, were now piles of disorganized…
Even me. And I haven’t graduated from college yet. A startling and rather scary story has hit some blogs — that a 23-year-old woman is thought to be the world’s youngest grandmother. Twenty-three years old. Most people in America think that’s too young to have a child, much less a grandchild. A summary of the…

I am currently reorganizing my room, and several things came to mind as I sorted through years of junk: I was waaaaaaay overdue for a change. I like the new configuration, which is based around the fact that now my desk faces the window. Much, much more pleasant. I’ve come a long, long way from…
