The Dog Ate My NuvaRing

- Stefanie

Just so you don’t think you’ll be reading me in this spot all the time, God forbid, I’d like to introduce a friend who will be guest-blogging from time to time. Her name is Stefanie and we’re calling her blog “The Crazy Stories People Tell Stefanie.”

Stefanie’s in her mid-20s, from the Bay area of California, and lives on Capitol Hill. She’s smart, quick with a quip and one of those people who puts a stranger immediately at ease. People tell her stuff. She’d make a great reporter.
