Any weight or excessive calorie intake that may occur from today’s post can be blamed on a couple of my friends. They are the ones responsible for introducing me to Cheesecake Factory’s Fried Mac and Cheese. Have you tried it? Yes, it is all their fault! Don’t blame me but be sure and head over [...]

The jet lag is almost gone. Instead of waking up at midnight I am now waking up at 4 a.m. I can handle that! While we were in Utah for Cali’s graduation I had my whole family in one place. That happens less and less these days unfortunately! I had to take advantage of the [...]
