Midwest Chick's Place

As Mr B said, the Indy 1500 gun show was packed.  I don’t think we’ve ever been there with the line going around the corner like that.  I picked up a few things that I caught my fancy–a new Gun Toten Mamas purse from Hiding Hilda.  Even if I don’t carry in the bag, the… Continue reading

Talking to my sister this morning and she thinks that any Adele song should be proceeded by a trigger warning for anyone who has made a bad life relationship decision. From SNL: It’s totally a chick thing…. Continue reading
