ToppedContinue reading 202. Chili Steaks

No, I have no idea why I did this. But I did. For the past month I have been, bit by bit, hiding stuff in my office.

It started when I gave my office a really goodContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Teenie Weenies (National Day of the Hot Dog)

OH. MY. GAWD. It’s been like pulling teeth here, trying to get myself to sit down and write. Meanwhile, Margot’s teeth have literally falling out. Seriously. Teeth falling out.

Last week I hit my 3-year anniversary with both the blog and Brian! Can you believe it? I can’t. I seriously can’t.

IContinue reading Happy Anniversary, Dinner is Served!

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