So I was in the right place at the right time, and was the first to take Kelly, from Diary of the Nello, up on the offer to be interviewed. She wanted to ask someone some questions….I like talking about myself….so here we are. Thanks, Kelly. It was fun.

Okay, so I came across this post at sweatpantsmom, and couldn’t help being sucked into playing with the Band Name Generator. Do I need a band name? Sure, I don’t play an instrument or have any talent, but that hasn’t stopped Nickelback…or Jessica Simpson…or Fergie…or Hillary Duff…..or Sean Paul…or…well, you get the idea. So you […]

I have a pretty full day coming up tomorrow and yet, I am sitting here having a midnight 2 am snack, typing this. Why? Why am I doing that you ask? (Humor me.) Because I am lame. That’s why.
A very cool opportunity has presented itself to The Boy. Tomorrow, The Husband and I are going […]
