Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Whew! The home stretch is in sight — 6 letters left, 5 after today. U is for Uniform, as in the one I wear to work. I don’t think that I ever imagined myself saying this, but I like wearing a uniform to work.… Continue Reading “Uniform”
To say that I like tidying might not be totally true, but I definitely get some satisfaction from it. I’m a cluttered person. I have a hard time throwing things away — especially things that may someday be useful — which is pretty much… Continue Reading “Tidying”
