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 […]

Someone recently told me that dating (post divorce) is just like riding a bicycle. this person has clearly never seen me ride a bike. like ever.  and if they had seen me ride a bike, they would probably just push me off of it and ask me to use the two walking limbs that God […]

So apparently my literal worst nightmare has actually come to life here in the beautiful city of St. Louis. Clowning. Scary “Clowning”. The movie “It” in real life form. Someone please end my life right now. Why. why. why. why. I’d absolutely crap myself if I came into contact with any of these emotionally screwed bozos. […]

I first would like to point out how i’m basically an oxymoron writing this post. Currently stuffing my face with cheddar, honey mustard & bacon toast on a buttery brioche bun (if you follow me on snapchat you will have gotten a little sneaky peak of what this goodness actually looked like) while attempting to […]
