Lately, I’ve been into a TV show call Reba. It’s about a single mom who works too hard. Who loves her kids and never stops. She’s gone through divorce. She has a pregnant teen.

Looking Back
Out of curiousness, I pulled a planner off the wall. People always ask “Where do you want to be in 10 years?” well, I looked back 10 years. What changed? What was I doing? On September 24, 2015 I was still in college. It was a Thursday, so I had classes: Animal Science and PhysicsContinue reading “Looking Back”

Your Splinter
The other day, I got two splinters stuck in my hand. The first one, I was able to get out right away, but the second one took some time.
