For the most part, I ate all my Thanksgiving dinner leftovers just as they were because I LOVE Thanksgiving dinner. There’s no need to mix it all up in a casserole to make it different. However, I made a VERY large turkey (it was free, so I’m not complaining) and I just couldn’t [...]

I have never been what one might call Photogenic. In fact, if you look in the dictionary at the antonym for Photogenic, you will see MY picture. I do NOT photograph well. Whereas, my sister can crawl out of bed with a bed of squirrels in her hair and she STILL looks [...]

If this guy wasn’t so skinny, I’d say that this was me. But I’m NOT skinny. And I am late today. Late with everything. It’s been one of those Mondays. Any Monday that’s the first day of the month is always bad, but to have it hit you after a [...]
