Get Rid Of The Crap

After cooking Melody's breakfast this morning, I finally got around to cleaning the toaster. My wife loves cinnamon raisin bagels.

Too Stubborn to Give Up

Sometimes You Have to Take Care of You

One of my biggest shortcomings is that. No matter how much I try to block it. I care about what others think way too much. My saving grace has been the example my father set for me. He was always his own man. Now he listened, but he always followed his own path. Tuesday was the funeral for our... Sign in to see full entry.
