Adoptees and their kids 25 Nov 2012 | 11:19 am

Hurry Up 24 Nov 2012 | 11:24 am

Ping Pong Balls and Babies 23 Nov 2012 | 10:47 am
Don't you just hate when you are looking for some cool stuff on Craig's List, only to find paps trolling for babies? As an adoptee, I find it to be quite disgusting and demeaning. I mean, seriously- ...

Out? 17 Nov 2012 | 11:33 am
Nah... I was going to pull a Kramer tonight, but I can't do it. I let the day get away from me. I wish nablopomo didn't include weekends. But they do, so right now I am just typing words. Kind of li...
