This semester is now fairly officially drawing to a close and while I adore my students I couldn’t be happier to be finishing this one off. So much to do and every just means I’m that much closer to a week with Jackson and the Baby Mamas, my nephew’s HS graduation, and three weeks in [...]
Read full post...No two ways around it: now that the Australian Open has begun, and airs from 7:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. our time most days (on ESPN2), what choice will I have but to be very tired over the next two weeks.
It’s hard to believe that Federer will not be ranked #1 entering the tournament, but [...]
Um, okay, why am I not rich? Cause this has my name all over it … lucky bitch!
