Whew! I just finished entering all my items for the Fall Duck Duck Goose (DDG) consignment sale. We are doing a serious purge this go-round, so I am maxed out on the 100 item limit.

An appetite for more forces her to take stock of her ordinary middle-American existence and her neighbors’ seemingly perfect lives.
