Snow Big Deal
It’s January. In the Northeast. Temperatures dropping. It was inevitable that, eventually, we’d get it. You know. The S word. SNOW. Yup. Late last week, the news hyped the latest big storm to wreak havoc on our area. Weren’t you battering down your hatches, & buying all of the bread & milk you could get your panicked hands on?? Didn’t you hear of it?? Winter Storm Hercules. *Commence with eye rolls & gagging in disgust.* Here’s the thing. I understand that our area, following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, is prone to waves of panic regarding any and all potential storms. But, c’mon. Do we really need to name… snow? It…

Happy Halloweenies!
S0, Halloween- you either knowit because you were dragged out of your comfy chair by overly-eager screaming children to hit the streets, or you don’t; in which case, you were dragged out of your comfy chair by overly-eager screaming children that kept ringing your bell and demanding sweets….

Perhaps because it was ingrained in me, since it’s been repeated like a mantra by #2… every.single.day. … for 46 days now. Why 46, you ask? Because 46 days ago was #1’s birthday.

(This rule need not apply to the general population, apparently.…

That’s Bulk
Sorry for the delay in posting, people- this week was one of those weeks where I felt like I was behind the eight ball the whole time… …including grocery shopping. (sigh) Instead of my normal meal planning and Peapod ordering- and by the way, if you have never tried ordering groceries online via Peapod, I highly recommend it- I ended up picking a few things up every few days. Not ideal. So on Friday afternoon, my 2pm caffeine rush suggested to me that it would be a good idea to pick up some necessities at BJ’s in preparation for the weekend. BJ’s is our local wholesale store, which is where…
