All the Pizza
Maybe it's because I'm currently on Whole30 and life is basically miserable. But I've been thinking about pizza a lot lately. Because I can't have it. I miss it. I've said that already. I may be delusional. But in thinking about all the pizza I can't have, I've been thinking about all the different kinds … Continue reading All the Pizza
4 Celebrities I’d Like to Have As Friends
I don't necessarily keep up with everything that's happening in the world of celebrities. Most of the time, I just don't care. I don't have the E! Network. I don't watch Entertainment Tonight.

Question of the Week #102
How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people's? I'm not sure that I would necessarily call my family close or warm. When I was at my grandmother's for Christmas, I came to the realization that I hadn't seen my aunt or uncle since Christmas last … Continue reading Question of the Week #102
So… I’m Doing Whole30
