Hot drinks NewLooks_womens_fall_r8_c3

I'm still trying to minimize our posessions. Even my email box was horribly clogged. I had 124 emails on my private account. Most of them were from nonprofits. During grad school I did a newsletter signup frenzy. I must have been lonely or some...

Green-tea-shaded Which looks cooler, a Dunkin Donuts styrofoam cup, or these?

I've been doing really well with my diet, and I've been sleeping better. Endorphin highs are great. I went jogging at my Lake on Saturday. The weather was amazing. It was humid and the sky was dark. The rain cooled off my skin. Raindrops pattere...

Kitty
