5, 4, 3, 2…1!

While the world is toasting the new year with champagne flutes and fireworks, I shall be snoozing under the influence of the store brand of NyQuil. I’m two days into a very nasty cold, which has had me in my flannel pajama pants and a grouchy mood. In order to […]

You know what I hate?

Well, that’s a loaded question. To be honest, I could probably come up with more than one thing. But my biggest gripe right now is with myself. I think of things throughout the day that I need to do, that I should do, that I would absolutely benefit from on […]

I ate this!

And it was darn good! I met up with some fellow Flickrers at Bobby J’s in downtown GR Thursday night. It was a fun evening. Though a lot of my friends would find this hard to believe, based on my very talkative and sometimes very loud nauture, I can be […]
