Holiday antsy
It’s too soon to take off from regular daily life (school) but it already feels so much like Christmas I’ve got that antsy, chompin’ at the bit, rarin’ to go Christmas spirit.

And all because it [...]
Pudding is Wonderful and Smartpot is Dumb!
Y’all remember when I was so excited because Crockpot was gonna replace my stoopid ol’ broken Smarty-Pants-Pot? How long ago was that? Not very. Two weeks ago to the day! And today? It broke! Smartpot. (rolls eyes) I think not. Really, the Crockpot company ought to replace this replacement, but I just don’t need anymore [...]
Peanut Butter Bars
Alright, I really messed up. I ate sugar and made myself sick. Physically ill. I feel like a kid who has tried chewing tobacco for the first time. My tummy is bad and my head is squishy and all my joints hurt. I am a ridiculously slow learner. I just have to stay away from [...]
