To Do: Goal #22 - Don’t drink alcohol for one month.

I’ve always enjoyed adult beverages. Whether it be a glass of wine, a beer or my beloved bourbon, I’m game. When I was in college, my consumption of said adult beverages went way up.

101 Goals - 1,001 Days

I first saw this on Stephanie’s blog. You can also read about it on its official website: 101 things to accomplish in 1,001 days. Great idea, right? Well, I definitely think it’s a marvelous idea.

A Day in the Life of Roxie…

Hamster stalking. It’s what she does best. We’ve figured out what Roxie’s hierarchy of wants and motivations is. First: car rides. Second: hamster stalking. Third: food. That’s right - we’ve figured out that stalking our hamster D.S. around the house supersedes her want for food, even table scraps. And, for a food-loving and begging horse [...]

Valentines and Two Recipes: Yumminess! - Bourbon Chicken and Channa Masala

Once again, apologies for my two-week absence. I know it’s no excuse, but I had a semi-long-term sub job that included actually creating some lesson plans, which required spending some of my time at home working! Imagine that!
