Being a Step Mom

August 16, 2010 by erinlittle

Catholic Guilt

November 21, 2007 by Unknown

There is a great line in " The Commitments"(which you should see if you haven't)  where a poor Irish white guy is trying to channel the greats of soul for his saxophone and he wanders around Dublin chanting, "I'm black and I'm proud."   I have days where I wander … [Read more...]
