I was thinking about this today as I roamed through the cupboards and fridge looking for lunch. Nothing sounded appealing. I’m trying to be very careful about what I eat and how it affects my blood sugar but I find myself wanting foods that aren’t in my house. So am I picky [...]

Last night a big chunk of gold came out of my wedding band. I’m just heart sick over it. It must be the spot where they sized it, is all I can guess. I was just sitting on the couch when it caught my eye and went flying into my hair! [...]

LOL Most of you know what it is already but Dan In Real Life is my new favorite movie of all time! I loved that it had 2 swear words in it and only a few minor suggestive things in it. You can’t find a good clean movie anymore for adults. This [...]
