Normally I spend a lot of time trying to come up with a clever/ punny/ funny title for my Monday posts. But I’ve decided that this topic too important to get cute. So, without further ado: #1 PP isn’t the only place that performs abortions, so defunding it to stop abortions is a false pretense right out of the gate…. Read more »
In January many of us like to make resolutions. Maybe we want to lose weight, get more organized, spend more time with family, or one of any other goals. There isn’t anything inherently wrong with wanting to improve yourself. We all should want to be the best version of ourselves. The problem with resolutions is that we tend to set… Read more »
Today is Festival of Sleep Day! This is quite possibly the best “wacky” holiday I have ever heard of! If you know anything about me, you know how much I love sleep. I have a sign in my cube that states my goals are “#1 Get Up, #2 Survive, #3 Go Back to Bed”. I list napping as a hobby…. Read more »
