above disability estate fun guy stress stuff talking term trust
There's nothing fun about stuff like estate planning, getting mammograms, or talking to a guy about long term disability insurance, but do it anyway. Trust me, the stress of not having done the above is prematurely aging.

I was a waitress at 25, and now I'm an author. Forty-five is definitely better.

When did the cell phone become a license to be rude? And why must I be subjected to your personal conversations?

Were I forced to describe this woman in one word, that word would be...herpes.
new-year years venture
I would rather receive a Pap smear from Captain Hook than venture out on New Year's Eve.
