I have noContinue reading Four Roses Eggnog & Weenie Wreath (2013 Version)

ThroughContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Relay Foods Roly Polys

So I threw myself a birthday party! (over 2 months ago) So sue me. I don’t remember every detail of the party or have photos of everything–it was my party after all. And I had, like, 10 people over.

It’s Wiener Wednesday and I am writing this from the comfort of my own couch, in my pajamas, watching the new Ricki Lake show–I just watched someone get a 20 minute boob job–amazing!
