Don’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for
Remember that time in 4th grade when my class had a contest to see who could best sing Bryan Adams’ “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You”? I suppose I haven’t mentioned it yet. Any willing participant had a chance to stand in front of the class with the Walkman headphones on and sing…
Tour of Homes: Annie Edition
You thought that I was your favorite Annie. Well, my little sweeties, prepare to forsake me for another. I have this friend Annie Downs. You probably already read her blog – but if you don’t, you should start. Because people, this girl has got it going on. Annie and I decided to swap videos, giving…
