I am grown and sexy years old, but every time I visit my parents I feel like I'm twelve again. From cartoons and Captain Crunch to: Where you going? Who you going with? And...What time are you coming home? Followed by a "You ain't grown!" I have to laugh to myself because my job, this [...]
I walked into Target for band-aids and body wash and walked out with two arms full of clothes. A Target Run usually yields shampoo, lotion, soap, and band-aids. From time to time a throw pillow or two, and a few candles. Last week I walked out with a few fabulous outfits and not one bottle of [...]
