I can also find an Office quote [suitable or not] for any occasion. Try me. I don't fancy myself a chef [I mean I can keep you alive...] and never thought I would see a recipe of mine … [Read more...] about Slow Cooker Chili Recipe: As Seen In “Seriously Good Chili Cookbook” by Brian Baumgartner [Kevin from “The Office”]

Saying Goodbye To Daisy
When Daisy came to us in 2010, she was just a sweet, little 2 year old. We found her being given away on a Yahoo Group. When we met her, I instantly fell in love. As I was holding Daisy and getting acquainted, I could see fleas crawling through her white fur. A lot of fleas. I did not know her owners so I don't want to judge them harshly. But I could not understand how, if I … [Read more...] about Saying Goodbye To Daisy

I Got Married!
As many of you have perhaps noticed, I have not posted much over the past year or so. Almost 2 years ago, I started dating a new man, Kenny. A few months later, he had a stroke [I will write about that later this week] and I had also started a new job in sales 2.5 years ago. So, honestly, there was not much time or energy left for blogging. I ended up leaving the sales job a … [Read more...] about I Got Married!
West With Giraffes Book Review
In my youth and 20s, I was an avid reader. You could almost never catch me in my free time without a book in my hand or, at the very least, close by. As I aged, and my vision slowly started to deteriorate, I stopped reading. In fact, until September of 2022, I had not read the entirety of a book in perhaps 10 years. My eyes felt tired or I would get a headache and I would … [Read more...] about West With Giraffes Book Review
