  • What a night!

    What a night I’ve had. Today started out pretty calm and boring. Wake up, get ready, get to work late, muster up enough energy to make it through the day and get some work done. Tonight though was the fun part. I made an appointment a month ago to get fake eyelashes applied at my…
