Whole30 Update: Day Nineteen

It occurred to me that the last time I wrote about being on Whole30, I was one mild annoyance away from a homicidal rampage. Y'all, it's gotten a lot better. I didn't kill anything or anyone. I didn't even go so far as to punch a pillow. Maybe I punched a pillow. I don't know. … Continue reading Whole30 Update: Day Nineteen

Question of the Week #104

Would you be willing to give up sex for five years if you could have wonderfully sensual and erotic dreams any night you wished? Well, it's been almost 37 years. What's another five? Probably helps that I don't yet know what I'm missing... That was easy. And oddly personal. What would you pick? The dream … Continue reading Question of the Week #104

Colonial Times

Once upon a time, I was living in a small city known as Bluefield. Now, it's easy to get confused as to where that may be. See, there are two Bluefields. And they exist side by side. On the Virginia side of the border, we have the town of Bluefield, home to Bluefield College, my … Continue reading Colonial Times

Plates

I like looking at license plates. Not so much the standard issue plates, but the vanity plates are awesome. I really like trying to figure out what they mean. Some, I find, are really easy. They basically spell out a person's name or inform you that the driver has eight grandchildren. Some aren't so easy. … Continue reading Plates

Valentine’s Day on Whole 30

However, my current predicament of being on Whole30 for the month of February (plus two days in March) got me thinking... What if you're dating someone on Whole30? I mean, let's say your sweetheart is doing Whole30 … Continue reading Valentine’s Day on Whole 30

Question of the Week #103

Does the fact that you have never done something before increase or decrease its appeal to you? I guess it depends on what that something is that I've never done before. Let's say it's bungee jumping. I've never done that before. But no part of attaching myself to a long piece of elastic and jumping … Continue reading Question of the Week #103

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
