Sep 05, 14 Dress Code Policy, My A**!

Posted by in Dear Diary, Featured

I am angry.  Yup.  Just plain mad!  And I’ve changed my mind about something that I used to be wrong about.

The Holidays Kind of Got to Me This Year

Jan 20, 14 The Holidays Kind of Got to Me This Year

Posted by in Dear Diary

I didn’t ever really get the Christmas spirit this year. I come from a long line of women who love Christmas. Every year, I get excited about the holidays. I am touched by the music, I love doing the decorations, I love the presents, I love entertaining. I usually love it all. This year, I never caught that holiday spirit. I...
