Almond Joy
So I’m on a total almond kick lately, apparently. Remember this trail mix? Well, I have to say, Salted Roasted Almonds from Trader Joe’s are THA BOMB. I can’t stop eating these suckers! They will be the death of me. Well, it would surprise nobody to learn that I’m not having a great time lately. …

December 2013 Photo-A-Day: Week One
I missed doing photo challenges! I know they’re not popular anymore (perhaps that’s the sudden instant appeal for me?), but having more to do helps keep me on task. ADD child, can you tell? So I decided to keep myself on task with two things this month: posting blogs every day, and following the …

And…

Atheist Christmas…?
It’s a subject that’s been on my mind a lot lately. How does an Atheist celebrate Christmas? I’m not just talking about an “opt out” option, where you ignore the holiday altogether. I know people who do this: treat the day as if it were no different than any other bank holiday (Arbor Day!) and…

Thanksgiving is the new Black Friday
Black Friday – like Thanksgiving – has come and gone, but I’m still not quite over it. I’m sure some of you out there spent your T-gives fighting others consumers for The Hawtest Dealz in town. You probably thought, “What’s the harm? I’m not spending thanksgiving with my family, I might as well go shopping.”…

Currently… in December 2013
#fmsphotoaday prompt was “red.” Observe my red sicky face. FEELING: a little sour on Christmas, actually. My store has been playing Christmas music since before Thanksgiving,which I am not okay with. If I hear ANY version of “All I Want For Christmas is You,” I may be physically I’ll or commit some kind of violence.…
