Trust Me

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

I generally pride myself (mistake #1) in being a rather self-composed woman…if such a thing exists.  I usually don’t get upset when “bad things” happen and I try to keep the “bad” or “stupid” things to a minimum.  I always try to completely think through every decision and weigh every option for each and every [...]
