This post is intended to have spoilers about plot points in the 50 Shades of Grey books. If you do not want the books to unfold in all their suspenseful glory, do not read further. Continue reading
This morning I read an article about roly-poly Americans and our passion for chain restaurants. Continue reading
When my husband and I were first married, we wrote a Christmas letter. This was his comment on his career at the time:
“Mr. Corn is working vigorously to pass a bill in the Colorado legislature. The bill will make it a class 2 misdemeanor to ask a couple when they are having children before their second wedding anniversary.” Continue reading
