Trying so hard not to be Marie…

Barone, that is, matriarch character of Everybody Loves Raymond. Cuz I could totally turn into her (she says as if she’s not already).

The latest being the day that Bald Man called sick into work. He doesn’t often, really. He has to be pretty bad to not go into the office. As […]

A New Marriage in the New Year

Just me then, yeah?
