Because it’s Friday, and I think you should have something to help the day go by (and bring on the weekend faster), I’m posting up this short clip of the hilarious Carla Renata reading “Expired” from “My Letter to Fear: Essays on Life, Love and the Search for Prince Charming.” I didn’t know Carla before
A friend recently complained that there is “no cuddling in dating,” and it sparked many, many thoughts which I will now throw at you. You’re welcome!
