typical

i have all these serious blogs jostling around in my head but because my time is consumed with required thoughts for written assignments on exciting things such as the Psychopathological model, they are pushed aside and i humor myself with writing about more of the ridiculous.

NYC- Final Part

Our first window is Macy’s and this year their theme is “Santa’s Big Night Out” (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wallyg/2062774008/). We also braved into the store (wasn’t my choice) to experience the 8 different floors and utter chaos of lots of stuff and people! My mom wanted to buy my husband a gift there and we weren’t leaving until [...]
