You’re either going to thank me or curse me for this one, but honestly, I couldn’t keep this dessert to myself. S’mores. On a stick. Yes, really. I love coming up with really good/really bad ideas. It will take you no longer than 5 minutes…

Today: Why? Because I love you.
Happy St. Valentine’s Day from me to you. With a ribbon on it. And a paper rose. And some glitter. And a heart-shaped doilie. And two of these little ginger snaps. When I was sixteen, I spent Valentine’s Day in Rome as a nerdy American…

Today: Delawhere?
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in Delaware, eat fresh strawberries, drink Dogfish Head beer, play lots of Phase 10 with Kristine and race 14 year olds to the front of the line at Jungle Jim’s (which is, in case you didn’t…

Today: Long live the long weekend.
Thanks to the men and women who gave their lives for the good ol’ U.S.A., we savored every minute of this long Memorial Day weekend. We got a few home improvement projects accomplished (details to follow 🙂 ), spent time with my friends and celebrated…

Today: Get a life coach.
Moronic things I’ve done this week: I spilled half a smoothie in the hallway, far enough down the hallway that the stain cannot clearly be attributed to me, but moronic nonetheless. And yes, I did my best to scrub the skim milk out of the…
