Well because her creator, Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, also the basis for a little show we know as True Blood (whose new season …
It’s 6:30 am, my beloved has set the cardiac-arrest-inducing alarm to snooze again. I walk over to the lobby whose architecture has a Spanish air to it, grab some much needed coffee, sit down next to a bougainvillea-adorned window overlooking the street below, and begin to write.

So today, I have stayed true to my old …

You give your friend a puzzled look, not from …
How Do You Know? Starring Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd and Jack Nicholson. How do you know? You get butterflies in your stomach? What does that mean anyways? What exactly are butterflies in your stomach? I get more of an upset stomach and can barely make it to the bathroom…in fact, on one occasion… …
I remember the day that little Brita pitcher walked into my life. It gave me filtered water in a filterless environment. I filled her up every time I consumed water. I was happy.
