Freeze that Frame, Fill My Heart- Day 23 SOLSC
For years, I have been wanting to have my family videos that were on VHS C cassettes transferred over to video.

Yes I Deserve This Shamrock Shake- Day 16 SOLSC
Today I deserved a Shamrock Shake. I only get one during the whole month of March as a treat to myself. Well, today was that day! My day was run amuck by leprechaun chaos at my school. As an interventionist, I work with students from many classrooms during the day. Every half hour it is…
