Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde

March 5, 2010 Ms. C4 Comments

Lately I feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (or perhaps better stated Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde).  A split personality is emerging and I fear my rationality will be overtaken by frivolity and a lack of appreciation for consequences.  Every day I find it more difficult to contain my Ms. Hyde.  Try as I [...]

The countdown to the days of peril…

September 7, 2009 Ms. C4 Comments
