I mean, are we doing this with Dr. Abbot or do you want to…” I’m so lame I can’t just come out and ask. “Let’s save the ten grand and have fun while we try to make a baby.” Read A Really Bad Idea today!

Jeannine’s Quotes

“You were always there... until you weren't anymore. Losing you taught me not to count on anyone but myself. It shaped who am I today... and that's not necessarily a good thing.”
― Penelope Ward, RoomHate

“Some people say not to plant in the fall because the frost is on its way. What they don’t realize is the time when everything is dying is the best time to start new life.” She takes some dirt and covers the bulb. “There’re two different kinds of plants. Perennials and annuals. Some, you plant and enjoy for a season, and they die, so you get new ones. They’re superficial. But the annuals, those are the ones with roots. They grow beautiful, and in the fall, they droop. They get ugly, and they die. But in the spring, they come back even more beautiful. They’re like memories. It’s like the people in our lives. Some are fleeting, here for a moment. Others grow roots. Those are what I plant. In the dark of winter, they lie dormant until it is time for them to flourish.”
