I Got Nuthin’
Writing a blog is fun, but sometimes it’s hard to come up with stuff that’s interesting and people want to read every day. Some days you can churn ou several posts and have it all going on but other times you sit at the computer and…nothing! This whole week has been like that, really…nothing. It’s like my creativity has gone …
