AUGUSTA, GA - I was in the gifted program growing up.
I'm not bragging. My mother would die. I'm sharing that to give you context for what I'm about to tell you, which is: I have a learning disability.
My friends are rolling their eyes and muttering,...

Every day is Caturday
AUGUSTA, GA - This is our cat. Her name is Fluffernutter Sweetiebelle Bananapants McGowen Hudson. Or, just "Sweetie," for short. I love this cat. This cat is my jam.
This cat is also completely unconcerned about whether or not I get a full night's...

Is the Pope Catholic?
AUGUSTA, GA - Emerson and her friend, Kayla, had a sleepover at the house. Wow, can these girls make a mess. I think they may actually be running an underground My Little Pony breeding operation.
I was so tired of stepping on and around the toys...

Me and my big mouth
I was running late, and R.H. and I had to leave immediately to make the show. We settle into our seats. A few minutes later, he leans in for a kiss.
Me: "Wow, I was wondering when you were going to kiss me."
Him: "When you stopped talking."
Okay,...
