If you follow me on social media you may have seen that it has been a very interesting week for me this week in Texas.

I was clueless and thanks to Susi now I know!!! By the way, today is Susi's birthday so show her some love by … [Read more...]

While I do not have anything really invested in the game being played today I will watch and eat my obligatory Big Game Day food . I will ooh and ahh over the commercials--many of which I have already viewed as the trend is to release the commercials early this year. But in the back of my mind I will be thinking … [Read more...]
