Back Home

I’m back in PA after a Spring Break well-spent; my very last Spring Break before joining the working world.  The Central Coast was in it’s prime with 70 degree temps, and tons of sunshine.  We frolicked about town and visited different beaches everyday.  I’m now feeling so very ready for Spring!  It was a bit [...]

My Accent

Tag! And I don’t mean the body spray

So I’ve been tagged by the lovely Denise, which means I’m supposed to tell y’all five little known facts about myself. Now since many of you who read this know me very well, and I kind of live my life open book style, this is a bit of a challenge, but I’ll give it [...]
