It is going to be hard for me to write anything today that contains any sugar coating, or more succinctly, bullshit. Not that I ever do write crap, but just right now – I am in a certain mood with a certain amount of agression welling up in my body and I really need [...]

Monkey is near obssessed with shoes and make-up. I swear to God that she didn’t get this from me.

Winston still babbles a lot, but some things she says so clearly – such as, You’re Welcome. Whenever I give her something, she says, You’re Welcome. Whenever I come swooping in for a big hug and a kiss, she says, I Love You Too. Sometimes she’ll come swooping in to me the [...]
