It’s been a long time since I’ve gone on a hard core rant – but here it is: Who CARES how many kids the Duggars have?!?! It’s not often that I get a chance to sit around and watch the morning “news”, but today I had the rare occasion to stumble upon Better Mornings Atlanta […]

American Hunger and Homelessness

3 comments

Marshall sent me to the grocery store two nights ago to buy a whole chicken for dinner – so I bought a whole raw chicken and set it on the counter. “What is this?” he asked in confusion. “It’s a chicken babe,” I explained. “You asked me to buy a whole chicken.” He looked at […]

Ford Flex – The Obsession

6 comments

As much time as I spend thinking about the Ford Flex, I was surprised to look through my titles and discover that I have NEVER (ever?) written about the Flex! Let me just tell you: I love that car. I test drove one in May and was immediately smitten. It was love at first acceleration. […]
