Before we get to the big issues this morning, let’s pause for a moment and marvel at this breakfast: Oh yeaaaah. That’s a triple stack Grilled Banana Sandwich. A triple stack because I was at the end of my loaf of bread and two pieces were just too tiny for breakfast. So, so good. [...]

Well, hello there. :) What a day, huh? I thank everyone FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART for taking the time to offer support/constructive feedback on my rebuttal to the Marie Claire article. I do not think I am perfect; I do not think this blog genre is perfect. Nothing is perfect. I wrote [...]

Our mystery road trip was to… Clemson, South Carolina! We’re here for the Miami v. Clemson game tomorrow. It’s their homecoming game, which could be very embarrassing for them. ;) We’re staying at Jeff and Jen’s family house, which is on a beautiful lake! Tomorrow, we are meeting up with Michelle and Ben for tailgating. [...]
