Sometimes I REALLY hate the people will treat others...... and I don't just mean other people, I mean all creatures, especially ones who have no voice and no choice. I am talking about animals. So, I have made a conscious effort to start buying cruelty free products.

On Thursday, Doug and I were driving through one of the more beautiful and upscale local parks on our way home from my parent's house and we were both str... read more

So, I haven't blogged for a very long time. I have a great desire to write about things that I feel compelled to share, however, many of them involve the type of people and situations that I deal with at work and since I work in a hospital, I feel it is in poor taste and could be considered a HIPPA violation if I put things in print that affect me.
