And it’s December. Just like that. Seasons Greetings. Big ol’ jolly st nick has really screwed me again this year with the impossible task of finding gifts (that really don’t exist) and pulling money that i don’t have out of my ass.

Holy Man Colds. If i’ve ever accused any male of having one, my most sincere apologies as I’ve been fighting one myself for the last thirty days and if you didn’t actually know me you would think that I had contracted the plague due to my inability to function on a simple sneeze and cough. […]

This last weekend teaser of 80 degree springtime weather? Holy nuts and bolts. We’re screwed.  Or if anyone else’s upper lip is perspiring just thinking about this past weekend then you are not alone. Welcome to the beginning of six months worth of pure cheese sweats. It’s only downhill from here. Unless someone comes up with scented air conditioned […]

Does anyone else feel that Christmas is very un-christmassy this year because it falls on the weekend? For holiday purposes, it just doesn’t feel as special falling on a Sunday. It also has really messed up my weekend before Holiday shopping, as I usually reserve the Saturday & Sunday before Christmas to get this done. […]

So this Thanksgiving I’ve been trying to stick to the basics. Giving cosmetic tweaks to those dishes that are in need of a little botox and the occasional filler. I have zero problem with change, but I’ve just been through so much that sometimes familiarity in my life is best. But this is also partially due to my […]
