I live by a man's code, designed to fit a man's world, yet at the same time I never forget that a woman's first job is to choose the right shade of lipstick. ↗

I usually stick out my hand and hope he puts the ball in it. Except the one time I went out to take Early Wynn out. I stuck out my hand and he hit me right in the stomach with the ball. ↗

I'm always writing at night - things I would change, things I would do differently. When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently. ↗
