You know, I was going to write something witty for when Karrisa and I made cookies on Saturday after coming back from Amy’s wedding in Auburn, but I just can’t think of anything right now. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll come up with something later.
On Tuesday, after spending Monday in Chattanooga getting my brakes done and my clothes washed, I returned home and went into the office before heading into the great abyss that is my apartment to see what my week looked like.
