Me, Craig & His List

I thought I would tell you a little bit about my friend Craig. Craig is a longtime friend who helps me sell items around my house in addition to buying treasures from others. He keeps things organized on his list and I'm a fan.

Ding Dong

Having a pizza delivered has been a little awkward at our house for a while now. Odd I know, but when you have a doorbell that looks like something out of a serial killer movie, it's no shocker the delivery guys give us the side eye as we open the door to get our goods.
