So my current assistant is leaving at the end of the month to go to grad school. So I posted an ad, went through resumes, did on the phone interviews and scheduled in person interviews. It's a crappy...

So when I got engaged to ex-FH I helped pick out my "dream ring" which I truly loved. It's now in the process of being sold which is sad but necessary. I had a random thought last night about if I...

So it's been 2 months since ex-FH & I broke up & he moved out. He's been staying with a cousin but hasn't found a place yet due to finances. B/c of this I've been nice & let him keep his furniture and...
