September Writing Challenge - Prompt #28:

You can’t judge a book by its cover.

But a lot of the time, you really can. I know that when a book cover looks like these:

There's a pretty good chance I'm not going to like the book.

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.

Sometimes I’m the one getting rid of stuff, and sometimes I’m the one finding the treasures. Yesterday I found this wreath at the thrift store for $2, and since I’m a total wreath junkie (I can’t be the only one, surely!) I’m very excited about its Halloween-y potential!

I have wide feet. The shoes never fits. 

Check out those exquisite tan lines.
