The winter blechs
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, Griping, kittyDog owners. You know, the main reason I don’t have a dog is because there’s no way in HELL I would ever pick up dog crap. I know that somehow it would get on me, under my nails or a skid down my sleeve that would go unnoticed. And I think that a lot of […]

Dumb diddy dumb
By Caitlin Jane in Griping, haha, workLast night, on my way home from quilting class (which, just to be clear, I LOVE!), I was on the bus, headphones deep in my ears blaring Howard Stern when 2 LDS guys got on.
