The misadventures of a newly single gal

The past few days have felt like something strangely reminiscent of one of Tim Burton’s machinations, or that botched ref call from Monday night’s football game…yeah, it’s made it onto my blog too. hahahahaha…remind me to one day tell you about my dream about Russell Brand and a dog.
