Sorry. That may have been misleading. Not YOU, the internet world. Let me esplain. Nope. There is too much. Let me sum up.
My fabulous Uncle “Jay” used to always say:
You can pick your nose
And you can pick your friends
But you can’t pick your relatives
I blindly believed this little “nugget” [...]

It’s probably because I live too close to those Pike Market guys.
Or maybe it has something to do with the massive amount of tuna I prepared for dinner group and some wandering missionaries last night.
The dinner smelled like fish, not the missionaries…well maybe they smell like fish now. Oh, and they were Mormon missionaries, if [...]

We thought this would be quite romantic but [...]

After many requests from readers, my parents have officially started blogs.
Okay they didn’t start them.
I did.
BUT they’ve both posted at least once. They may not post again.

Introducing Grammy and Papa Daring.

You empty everything… faster than I can refill it.
Today you snapped the wooden handle off a basket that Laylee has played with peacefully for 3 years.
You put everything in your mouth at all times.

Well, I’m surprised how few people guessed the truth, especially since my parents both came on gave the correct answer.
1. As for The Apprentice, I never auditioned but I did think about it. I’m sure I wouldn’t have made it to the third round of auditions though. But it’s fun to think about. [...]
