So I got most of my work done and decided to relax and watch videos on YouTube for a few minutes. The two that popped out at me were, “What If You are Not Behind” and “Watch A Giant Dog Get Bathed”. So there I was at a fork in the road. Do I choose enlightenment? Do I watch the video that might give me a new perspective on the self-imposed expectations I put on myself each day that have become a weight I feel crushed under? Or do I want to watch a big fluffy dog get bathed? I chose the dog. What is wrong with me? Do I not want enlightenment? Do I not want to feel free of the daily pressures of life? To be fair, big fluffy dogs are super cute when they get wet. OH THAT FACE!!!

How does a blonde spell “Farm”?
E-I-E-I-O
Tressa Jayne Turner has had it up to here with the dumb-blonde jokes and a childhood nickname that’s harder to get rid of than her favorite pair of cowboy boots. Thanks to one Rick Townsend, Iowa Department of Natural Resources officer, local hottie, and general pain in Tressa’s behind, everyone knows her as “Calamity Jayne”. Just because she may be a little accident prone and trouble seems to sometimes find her, Tressa can’t get anyone in her small town to take her seriously. That is, until Tressa finds a seriously dead body and an opportunity to get “Ranger Rick” and a skeptical citizenry to see that she’s no longer that skinny kid with scraped knees. How? By resurrecting her job as a reporter for the hometown paper and solving a murder no one else believes happened… no one, that is, except the killer. Now Tressa is one not-so-dumb blonde who’s out to gain a little hometown respect — or die trying.
