The Secret to My Non Success

I am having trouble keeping all the balls in the air. (Balls. hee.)

Please Vote! (and not just for President)

Ok, peeps, please let me know which one of these alarm clocks is your favorite. Keep in mind it will eventually sit on a white wooden dresser with green glass knobs.  Or a pale low mod wood dresser.  Or a large dark wood dresser.  Ok, I haven’t totally made up my mind about the dresser [...]
