After a very long hiatus, I’ve decided I’m going to try and start up my Shop Girl Shares posts again every Monday. There are simply too many good things out there that I’m dying to share with you. Capiche? 1) My Ex-Wife’s Wedding Dress Meet Kevin. Last year Kevin’s marriage ended and his wife of 12 years packed up her things and moved out, leaving only one thing behind on her side of the closet: her wedding dress. Kevin asked her what he should do with it, and her response was “whatever the (*insert explicative here*) you want.” …so he did. He’s now taken on the task of trying to…

It can’t possibly be Wednesday. Last I checked it was Sunday evening and I was collapsing into bed after a very, very long week and weekend. Last week was just… ugh.
