I don’t know about you, but for me, when it comes to blog fodder, it’s feast or famine.  In case you hadn’t noticed I’m sort of starving lately.  But, not wanting to leave you hanging for even a moment, I journeyed to the nooks and crannies of my dusty old brain and scavenged for some [...]

1. So far, DeAnna and I are sharing a brain.  She totally knows how to pick ‘em.  Or not pick ‘em as the case may be.
2.  With one exception.
3.  Jeremy.
4.  He has so got to go.
5.  Is it just me or are DeAnna’s eyebrows heinously mismatched?
