the amazing adventures of indestructable girl

I don't spend much time online anymore because Darrin has my computer. And I realized spending time using computers is definitely not a priority. But I do miss communicating with friends far and wide ...

Notes from Fort Produce

I have been feeling like all I want to do is make soup and sleep, since it's cold and fall-like now. I'm going to San Diego for work next week and that is going to be a shock to the system (in a good ...
