Of course there wasn’t even an intsy tinsy wintsy bintsy bit of snow this past weekend while we were in Denver and I complained about it a lot.

Why not just put myself totally out there and let you all know how much of a freak I truly am…in case you didn’t already know. I have a couple of completely irrational and embarrassing fears around my office that I think it’s time to share in the hopes that sharing will lead to healing, [...]

Maybe this is what ice cream’s baby looks like?
