The Irony Is Killing Me, Literally
So in the process of trying to loss the excess baggage I carry around all the time I have bought a treadmill and have been using it religiously. Last week I tried to run the last 5 minutes of the workout. Well it blew my knees out and now I can barely walk. I am […]

The Italian Throwdown
I have not had an excuse to have a really big Italian meal in a couple of years. So when the chance came up I jumped at the chance. I have been playing with a chicken dish in my head for a couple of months so I thought that this was the perfect chance to […]

Proof That I Have a Heart

Trees
Just in case anyone was wondering, I am a very socially aware person. I used my government stimulus check to plant trees, a peach, and a couple of maple trees, and a lillac bush.

Busy To The Point Of Despreration
This was the first Saturday that I have had free in a long time. So I had lots to do. My sister wanted to go to the zoo, the lawn wanted to be mowed and trimmed, the ward wanted me to cook dinner, and I wanted to sleep. Guess who got what they wanted? The […]
