I keep making things explode in my mother’s microwave. I think that qualifies as a bad habit. Its not intentional, its due to the fact that Mumsy’s microwave is about a thousand times more powerful than mine and I keep grossly overestimating the amount of time needed to zap coffee.

Things are great. Family, great. Snow, great.
But I want outta here.

Ever have one of those days when everything goes wrong? That would be yesterday. Boy oh boy. There isn’t enough space on wordpress to list all the things that went wrong, I’ll have to stick to the highlights. More like lowlights. The babies were up all night. Its a mystery why. Maybe the moon. Maybe [...]
