I [try to] make it a habit to not mock people. Truly. But every now and again, something simply amazing crosses one’s desk. Namely mine. And even though I cannot say whose impressive stats these are- nor how I received this gem- I felt that I had to share. I give you Julia: But Keely, you say. That’s nearly impossible to read! I know. Apparently in whatever region of the world in which this chick resides, the mimeograph machine is still {Read More}

Magical cookies. I totally jinxed myself. Why oh why would I put it out there to the cosmos that I was relaxed- especially after my drama-free flight?

Why, Amit, WHY? [Note: As I sit here in the drafty front room of my chilly abode in the downright frozen town of Chicago…I am having a really hard time keeping my chenille blanket about my shoulders as I type. That’s right- I CLEARLY NEED A SNUGGIE AS I AM COLD YET ACTIVE. Note note: I did not get paid for this post. (Nor for the mentions of Snuggies or any other product herein.) This is not a review.
