I couldn’t find more of a perfect time to join the “February Drop-Off” than the present moment. With yesterdays unfortunate game-day winnings and the dreaded hallmark holiday approaching there is no better time than to stuff ones face with delicious calories of sweet sweet heavenly joy. I mean, after all, isn’t that basically why the month […]

Holy Death Bed. As per my usual flu scandals, I  am planning out my funeral. I swear every time I get sick (or in this case invaded by a plague) I just count my blessings, ask for forgiveness where need be (um, Life) and pray that the good Lord will just take me out of […]

There should be a world record for sprouting a good 50 gray hairs and 2 forehead wrinkles in under 48 hours. And if there isn’t a category for rapid aging in the Guiness Book then there should be, and I officially declare myself as the winner for this unfortunate occurrence.  (for those of you who follow […]

Being that I live in St. Louis I basically had zero reminder that football season has arrived ! (also before I begin to even speak another sentence, lets share a mc-adoodle-doo moment of the noisiest silence EVER for the Giants defeat over the Girlboys…. wahooooo) Moving on. Football season, which basically means it is indeed time to whip […]
