It’s Food Friday! And I must really love you guys because I am about to share one of the things that makes me the happiest in all the world. As a kid, I gorged on this stuff. As an adult, I eat a lot of it, too (although I don’t eat wheat anymore, so I […]
I don’t like working out. There. I’ve said it. I don’t get that runner’s high. I don’t feel deprived when I can’t go to the gym. And I’m not a fan of residual sweat on the Nautilus machines. I mean, ick. But at the same time, I’m not keen on having flabby thighs and a […]

The little elves have informed me that Bossing Day is not an international, national, state or even local holiday. Apparently it’s limited to my house only. Yes, that’s right. […]
Last night, I was sitting reading at my eldest spawn’s Glee Club practice. Break time comes, and all the kids come bursting out, followed by the teacher. Nothing out of the ordinary there, right?
