Sandra is a writer, blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little.

She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

My favorite year. I gave this a lot of thought. Too much, in fact. How do I know it was too much? Because I brought myself to tears while mulling it over. I decided to only consider years post-college… so … Continue reading →

Posted on 28 April 2021 by what sandra thinks

My favorite x-cuse. I’m pretty sure this is the worst letter for this challenge. Nope, I’m sure. It’s the worst. You can tell because I totally cheated. Obviously excuse does not start with x, but fuck it. It’s almost midnight … Continue reading →
