…And sometimes it’s NOT Merry

December 23, 2013

Being alone during Christmastime is excruciating. I know– I’ve been there. Television shows and commercials bombarded the airwaves with actors whose shiny smiles drove stakes into my heart to remind me that was alone. Very alone.

November 24, 2012

 I watched several videos of Black Friday madness, where people hurt other people to get to the sale items. They would walk on top of another human to save $30 on a cell phone! This has been getting worse every year it seems, and now the sales even start ON Thanksgiving Day! People are camped … More One more comment on Black Friday
