Hot Dogs and Rice

Ok so admittedly last night we had Hot Dogs and the goodness that is Cheesy Rice A Roni. It was a sophisticated meal eaten on paper plates in front of the television! While I was cooking dinner I was on the phone with my Grandma (dad’s side) and when she asked what I was making [...]

Letter to….my Childhood!

Dear Childhood,
It was fun while it lasted. I am now 21 years old, today, and I can no longer stay in the realm that is you. You protected me from having to grow up, and you know just how to keep me happy. BUT I must be moving on…
I know this will be hard but [...]

The Hell that is Walmart…

Ok…so admittedly I was once deeply in love with everything that is Wal-Mart. I loved the deals the crowds and mastering my way through the hour long check-out lines.

Lately I have felt as though [...]

Construction and Road Rage

As an occupant of New York that must use various roadways to go about my daily business, I am always surrounded by someone with road rage. And usually not just the “finger” but the tailgaiting and various other forms of rude behavior in a vehicle. When I first moved here I was deathly afraid to [...]
