Why don’t people act right? Don’t they know they get me mad? Looks like everyone is trying their best to piss me off. I could be happy if that woman had given me the job, can’t she see, I’m perfect for it? Why can’t people just do the right thing? Who is she to be … More Director of Everything – You’re Fired
Since my return from the cross-country adventure, I have felt a little lost. My mood has been somber, and my temper has reared its ugly head over the last several days. The “pink cloud” of happy bliss escaped me, leaving me restless, irritable and discontent. These are feelings I am all too familiar with, although … More Big-Girl Panties

For some reason, I was drawn to Louisville, Kentucky. I had been to Louisville as a child, with my family so it wasn’t like I hadn’t seen … More Day 21- Should I Stay or Should I Go?
Next stop, St. Louis. After the chain of events in the Chicago traffic, I was a little gun shy about going into another big city. I found a park just across the river and got some awesome shots of the Gateway to the West, the classic Arch. The weather cooperated for the photos. It rained … More Day 20- St. Louis from a Safe Distance
