I hope your weekend was as smashing as mine.  haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-ha. Not funny. However I did get fairly smashed. Almost as smashed as the potatoes you see pictured.

LAY OFF ME I’M STARVING…. “Diet Starts Monday”.     I find myself quoting Chris Farley with SNL “Gap Girls” almost every Friday of every single weekend, since I can remember. And you know what happens on Monday? All I think about is the “diet” that I told myself I would begin while drinking some […]

It’s strange to sit back and look at your life and try to figure out how you got to where you are today. Currently I’m sitting back (with a glass of wine the size of Dark Helmets dome piece) and am trying to figure out just that. I don’t regret anything, I’ve done regrets before […]
