i love my honte

I had another ‘honte’ moment today standing in a baby store. You might remember my honte moment from last week in which after prancing around a clothing store, I walked back to the car to discover my grill peppered with poppy seeds.
This time the honte wasn’t quite as acute, because I wasn’t pretending to [...]

coffee and rain
