My Super Exciting Life Okay, first question, and this is serious: is everyone going to survive the Deadpool madness??

My Super Exciting Life It’s actually very (extremely) rare, but this week was incredibly busy! The puppy business has been picking up big time and this week consisted of multiple dog walks every day.

My Super Exciting Life This is the week that nothing exciting happened, truly. I took a short trip to Universal Studios on Monday, where I did nothing but walk and talk with a friend. No rides, just talks and ice cream! The rest of the week was even more uneventful, not that that’s a bad […]
