Or rather, my last. Have you ever been? God I hope not. I only spent roughly 24 hours there and in many of the outer suburbs and I can honestly say I have no desire to go back. My husband entered the Youngstown Peace Race, a race that has been nationally known for decades. I… Continue reading My First Trip to Youngstown

Seven Years in Cleveland
This month marks 7 years since I decided I couldn't handle L.A. anymore and moved to Cleveland. It was a mildly impulsive choice, but everything fell into place at the right time for it to happen.

The High and the Low
I buy weird stupid "luxury" items I don't need. I just do. Okay maybe not the wasteful kind of stupid, like an expensive car or hair extensions. But you know what I mean. I never really did before, but because I live in a cheap city I figure get the things I want now while… Continue reading The High and the Low
