About Me

A while back I up and quit my job to start an online store, KristenGrace.com . I work crazy hours. I'm now dirt poor. And I don't get to travel much anymore.

Someone at Google has a sense of humor

Go to Google Maps.  Ask for directions from your town to a city in Europe.  Read the directions for a little chuckle.  If you live in Europe look for directions to a city in the America...

Superman

Superman Returns.  Hmm, I didn't hate it.  It wasn't terrible.  But there wasn't much there.  If the movie were a sweet it would be cotton candy--lots of airy goodness but very lit...
