Do you ever have moments when something just clicks and you’re like, Why did I not think of this before? It’s so very, very obvious! No? Well, I have no trouble admitting these moments happen to me on a fairly regular basis. I’m not hiding my flaws here. So my […]
I loves me some curry chicken salad
And I get a big kick out of abusing grammar etiquette too. So I cooked tonight. This used to be a normal occurrence. Lately not so much. I don’t do well with small windows of time. I feel too pressured. It also doesn’t help when Devin comes in the door […]
Chicago kicked my butt
Literally. Because I slipped while disembarking from a trolley car and landed, THUDDDD, on the bottom step. I now have two huge bruises on my tushy. Nice. Other than my sore behind, the rest of the trip was nice. The snow on Friday wasn’t my favorite part, but we hung […]
