Posted on May 21, 2011 | 6 comments

I must have been tempting fate when I mentioned in yesterday’s 5QF that I had been pooped on the day before my brother’s wedding.

Do As I Say

Now that I’m a proper grown up, I know that everyone’s family has sayings that are not universal to everyone else’s but growing up, I truly thought everyone used the same phrases as my family did and was always surprised to learn that was not the case. Continue reading →
