I’ve been on Spring Break this week, and, for those of you who don’t know, Spring Break for people over the age of 30 typically means sleeping past 6am and catching up on housework. Both of these I have accomplished, in addition to handsomely chopping down my to-do list. I’ve also been flying solo with … Continue reading »

Lenten Do Over?
I promised to give up soda for Lent and it went really well for about four days. Oops. I’m not particularly Catholic, so I’m not too concerned that this mistake will lead to eternal damnation (but then again, what do I know??).

Happy New Year 2013!
I’m fairly confident the year was sufficiently rung last night. The wine flowed, the turkey was delicious, as were all the delectable sides (including mashed potatoes, vegetables, stuffing and my Mom’s creamed corn). I made a solid batch of deviled eggs and shoved blue cheese into pitted olives for a final touch. But enough about … Continue reading »
