Letting Things Slip through the Cracks at Work

I let the most bizarre things fall through the cracks. At home it's usually something small, like when I was steeping herbs in olive oil, and left them in the jars for over a year (it should have only been a month or so).

Let's take a tour of the house I share with my son and husband.   Living room - there's a pile behind my desk chair. I'm not sure what it is. I think it's a combination of books... Read moreChevron
