Help. Me. What the flying pig is with my allergies right now. Seriously. The minute I hopped off the plane in St. Louis it felt like as if my nose was a lamp post filled with moths. Slight exaggeration (but not really). Think about it. That would literally slay the feather in a tickling nose contest. […]

After renting the sommelier documentary on Netflix, Somm, I lately have found myself to be a bit of a wine connoisseur. And a terrible one on that note.

My sister got my son a full drum set (cymbals & all) for Christmas. I don’t think I have ever hated live music more than I do now. I’m not kidding you. He’s so terrible. He can’t even keep a beat.  You probably think I’m being incredibly harsh and am one of those non-encouraging parents […]

    Jicama, NOT pronounced “Ja-Caaama”. Which I totally butchered in the grocery store, how embarrassing. I had a good feeling my pronunciation was way off when the man behind me at check out was smirking. Thanks a-hole. At least help a brother out and correct me so I don’t sound like a clueless nerd-bomber who lives in […]

  I was in love with a man once, until he showed up on The Voice wearing jeans that were tighter than mine, and that is saying a lot being the fact that I’m a chubbier than usual self.  The man you ask? Sam Hunt. I know. So terrible. But, my eyes just can’t help […]

    Has a movie ever enraptured you so much that you feel like you’ve actually been there? Or you can physically picture yourself as a character in the film? I have a movie that does that to me almost every time and I swear it leaves me on cloud nine for a couple of […]
