My plea to the Android Operating System

“Where’s my smooch?” I ask my husband as he gets ready to walk out the door to work. He quickly turns back around and ever so lightly, LIGHTLY pecks my lips with his. “You’re serious. Was that even a kiss? I don’t even think I felt that.” I tell him half joking. “Sorry,” he says,… [Continue Reading]
