Let’s see…
Awakened at 1 AM by a noise, sounds like a Mack truck in my furnace room. Call TechBoo to troubleshoot. End up having to cut the power off to the furnace at the circuit breaker. Send text to plumbing/heating/contracting guy. Drag portable heater into girls’ bathroom so that they can get dressed in a [...]

Mini-Me reads at a high school level (seriously), but she still loves the sketches and the music. I like the trip down memory lane, and of course my secret crush, Morgan Freeman, was [...]
