the slapdash and haphazard spewings and outbursts of a liberal feminist
About Me
- broad minded
- Greensboro, North Carolina, United States
- I'm liberal. I'm short. I'm opinionated. I have wide feet. I like reading and cooking. I need gossip like I need air. My child is cuter, smarter, sweeter than yours. So's my husband. I believe in shades of grey, except when I don't. I want to be a better person. If hell exists, I am probably going there. I am selfish. And I am shy. As I figure out more, you will be the first to know.
The hapless few who stopped by
Sites that get me through the day
