Anyone else remember the “Saturday Night Live” skit called “Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey”? Or am I totally dating myself here? Today I am sharing some of my totally random “deep” thoughts. And trust me when I say they are random. Actually, I am kind of embarrassed to admit that these are a few of the silly ridiculous “issues” […]

Meal Planning (Week of Jan. 26)
I will try to get through my rundown of this week’s meal plan without getting sick. Just the sort of opener I’m sure you were looking for with a weekly dinner menu post, right? But on Friday afternoon, I came down with a sudden (and pretty brutal) flu-like illness, complete with queasiness and a general […]

I’ve been known to squeal with delight upon opening my mailbox to see multiple magazines just waiting for me. I love settling down on a Friday night with a glass of wine and my People magazine. I […]
A Pain in the Butt … Literally
