I’ll admit it… I’m one of those people who collects a lot of different things, like paintings, mugs, books, and Pro Player phone numbers (ha! I wish!). The problem I have is that I’m a somewhat messy person. It’s never on purpose, but things just happen. What do I use my mugs for? Coffee… which, […]
