Indecisive? Well, yes and no. I really thought by this time all the big decisions would be made and we would just be coasting. But for some reason life seems more complicated, and decisions are harder to make. When we were younger we had more time to change direction if a decision turned out to […]
My mom often reminded me – Always wear clean underwear, you never know when you might be in an accident, and you don’t want anyone to see your nasty pants. That’s the way I feel about the refrigerator. In my mind it would be horrible to die a sudden death and have my daughters and […]
