We’re painting the entire upstairs of our home. It makes me want to lay down for another week. Our hope is that the Soldier will land a job down in San Antonio and we’ll need to put our house on the market. Like I said- it’s a hope. Since I’m all about not getting caught…

Roasted Tomato-Basil Bisque- Quick & Easy
It’s is currently thirty-nine degrees in Central Texas. I feel like one of those insects that’s been frozen alive. Nothing makes sense and I’m watching the world pass me by because I’m frozen stiff.

Gots me all sorts of discombobulated. Taking that first bite? Shooooowwweeeee, child. ‘Twas sinful, indeed. My favorite way…
Buffalo Wing Platter with Blue Cheese Dip
I’m going to give it to you straight: the only reason I care about the big game is because it means food. Baseball is my favorite sport, followed very closely by soccer. Football is a sport I don’t think I’ll ever understand, nor do I care to. Food, though? Food is something I care a great…

QUICK!!! Let’s hurry up and eat something healthy before our bodies know what we’re doing!!! I’ve resolved to be better to my body this year.
