To firemen (and the romance novels about them!)

My best friend is a teacher with maybe the best commute home from work on the planet…. Not because it’s short. Or because there’s a great wine bar on the way Or a discount store selling Vera Bradley purses at 75% off (..wait, that’s my thing, not hers… anyway…) Her commute is AMAZING because, on…

Sleep is good. Books are better

Below is a very short recap of a conversation I just had with a friend Me: “I’m not sure what to do… I just have so much trouble falling asleep!”  Her: “Why don’t you try reading a book? That puts me to sleep in like 5 minutes.”  Me: … 😐 “… You don’t know me at all, do…
