Dear little yellow parking ticket,   I hate you. Okay, maybe that is a little harsh. I am sure you had the best of intentions when you tucked yourself in my windshield wiper two weeks ago. I get it; I parked where I wasn’t supposed to. And I get that

I am a girl who loves twinkle lights, especially when they are laced through tree branches.   So it is safe to say that I absolutely adored everything about the Garden Party this year.   I will take any opportunity that I can to dress up, so this semi-formal event

Okay, so we all have our opinions of the cafeteria. There is no pretending here really; everyone figures out by the end of the first week that the food can leave, well, more to be desired.  Sometimes the cafeteria pulls off a quality option, but most times you’re left “eating
