I've been watching a lot of true crime lately. Like daily. I am absolutely addicted. I dream about it. I'd like to think it started with the new season of Making a Murderer, but the truth is it started when I was a small child. My mom used to watch Murder, She Wrote and Father… Continue reading I’ve Been Binge Watching True Crime Before Binge Watching True Crime Was Cool
The title, alone, sounds ridiculous. Please stop telling me I should do things for a living? What do I expect - to sit around and do nothing as a grown ass adult? No. That's not what I mean at all. A couple weeks ago, we had a little family and friend get together for my… Continue reading Please Stop Telling Me I Should Do Things For A Living
