That Word That Means That You Remember Something
January 26, 2017
Life in the Boomer Lane and her friends now save a lot of money on entertainment.

News of the Weak
December 16, 2016
There’s no better way to start the weekend than with several news events that have invaded Life in the Boomer Lane’s ever-shrinking brain. LBL believes that if one cannot rid oneself of a demon, the next best thing is to share the demon with others. LBL now passes these little demons on to […]
