Apparently I am a part of Generation Y…this reminds me of being a teenager in the 90s and thinking that the 80s had really ruined things for us as there was very little left to be other than nondescript.

I had a really good day yesterday, got to hang out with M-i-L and The Cult before the Boxing Day Dinner, not as much fun as helping to prep the food but M-i-L has that down these days. I discovered I’ve finally got the proportions right to make the cranberry liqueur the way she likes … Read More

It went a little something like this: TGWGH: Did … Read More

So far, new job, so good. So far, my sister got married, so good. Don’t worry – expect new blog entries soon!

Just…cannot believe how much everything happens at once. I mean, seriously. Also…how annoying am I being in not making clear what I’m talking about?
