If you know me, then you know my son sleeps with … Continue reading I’m Always Confounding Things
Obsolescence and The Deconstructionist
It broke my heart to see it go, but it was obsolete. A piece of my past. Something I was saving to give to my kids kid some day. I wouldn't exactly call myself a hoarder - my mom would disagree.
