  • High Five for Friday: birthday edition

    Whoot, another Friday. 1. My father and my BFF, Ashley, have the same birthday (that would be tomorrow). Tonight, Ashley and I are celebrating at the Melting Pot.

  • Before you cheat

    Y’all, I have a confession to make. My eyes have been wandering. I’ve been looking around and considering testing the waters. We’ve had a good run, but I’m just not sure how much longer it will last. You see, I’ve been cheating. On my car. With Mac’s car. His Honda gets much better gas mileage than…
