He sat me down in his blue plastic chair and dug deep into his closet and revealed a large brown accordion file. The file was overflowing with drawings and paintings that...
As a reward: $Homemade Dinner
In the 5 Moleskines that I own, (1) black hardcover square journal, (1) black pocket weekly notebook, (1) red pocket weekly notebook, (1) red hardcover lined journal, (1) New York city notebook, the “As a reward:” always read, “$Homemade Dinner” should it ever be lost and found.

Second Wind
Bridal Shower: I’m so excited for tomorrow!!! We’ve been planning this for months now, and finally- it’s here. Tons of preparation.
