See, it’s like this.
You’re just walking along, minding your own business, living your day to day, making the same type of decisions that you usually make (good and bad, but getting better) and suddenly reality hits you like a flash flood — and you’re in way deeper than you meant to be.
So naturally what do you do as the water rushes in? And first, before you’ve...

A couple more rules
for my unborn son (or nephew, or fish)

maia attempts cooking
If you ask me, Thanksgiving is the best holiday. It has all the warmth and togetherness of Christmas, but without the high expectations. All I really need to feel that holiday spirit happiness is to be surrounded by the people I love with lots of good food.
