When I was growing up, baseball was my favorite sport...until I got hit in the gut with a fastball and had a fear of a little tiny ball going 60-100 miles an hour speeding right at me. I also realized that baseball was a lot of just standing around watching a pitcher throw to … Continue reading Baseball Bitter Friday Giftures

Job Hunting Vs. Dating
I recently told you about when I was in 7th grade and we did a career day in school.

Seven Years Bitter Luck
I'm usually pretty terrible at remembering anniversaries, which is why I decided to get married in 2000, so I would always know how many years I've been married.

In the background, I'm listening to the New Kids on the Block doing their best to make a comeback.

Security is kind of a big deal in a lot of ways. It has been a big buzzword in our country in the last few years.
