If we are going to continue to have a relationship, I need to be honest with you. Do you remember last week where I shared that we are currently car sharing because Brian's mode of transportation has been in the shop for three weeks? Remember how I said that I was in...
The Chauffeur
Two weeks ago, Brian dropped his Kia off for service. Air Conditioning was not working and considering it is the temperature of hell, it was vital that it gets repaired. Currently, we are a one car family. Why? Because not only was the A/C needing a little TLC, but...

Dream Weaver
I went out Saturday night and stayed out past eleven! I know what you are asking. What is a seemingly sensible 56-year-old doing at a rock concert well past her appointed pajama time? Well, she is reliving the 80s with music by Cheap Trick and Heart. An 8 o'clock...
