There are a few things in life I have too many of. Shoes, of course. And baskets. And tote bags, for some strange reason. And, of course, candles. But I always rationalize my candle purchases by saying to myself, "I'll use these up so it's not like I… Read more
People love their coffee.
I don't get it. I never acquired a taste for it, and grabbing a can of Diet Moutain Dew is so much more convenient. But that's for another day.
