just our day to day life
Happy Valentine’s Day! We aren’t big into celebrating this holiday, so after work we’ll go to yoga and then come home to hang with Boof. We have a Valentine’s party on Saturday with friends, so we’ll save our celebrating until then! A few months ago …
When I bought two bags of organic potatoes for 99 cents each, I needed to figure out a way to use them in case they started going bad since they were reduced. I didn’t want us to have to each a bunch of starchy …
I LOVE football. I don’t love it when the Steelers suck, but oh well. I don’t hate the Ravens, but I hate Ray Lewis (and Michael Vick). I hate that he was involved in a murder and plead down and no one got charged. I …
