  6. I went to bovine university and all i brought back was this lousy blog post…
    …relax, i kid. my blog posts are NEVER lousy (well, with the exception of everything i wrote in the first year…because oh.my.god. never go through your archives. ever). honestly, though, i don’t even know how to sum up my trip to Chicago as a McDonalds Mom Quality Correspondent (mouthful, eh?)…so i’ll likely be talking about it until [...]
