Oh my holy hallelujah, people — it’s Friday.  How happy does that make me?  Pretty darn happy, let me tell you.  Even better than that ?  It’s a three-day weekend!  Hooray for Labor Day.  (Ha, it rhymes!  Sheesh, I’m easily amused…)
We have dinner plans tonight and then no other plans for [...]

stress

entrance, reading, pennsylvania
I’ve been trying to write this post all day.  It’s just not happening.  Instead, I have this pretty cool picture I took (above) and a thought with which to leave you:
“Stress…is the condition that results when person-environment interaction leads someone to perceive a painful discrepancy, real or imagined, between the demands of a [...]

complainy and needy

“It’s a winning combination!” Geez, if that title is any indication, you should get out now while you still can…    At least I have a nice photo for you:
