I love tomato soup. I have loved tomato soup since I was a kid. I think one of my favorite lunches or dinners growing up was tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich – wasn’t it yours too? Hands down, tomato soup always won out over chicken noodle or any other soup. Of course there [...]

As I logged into the dashboard of my blog yesterday I noticed that I had written 499 posts. That means that today’s post is my 500th post!!! It is hard to believe that I have actually found 500 things to blog about over the last 2 1/2 years! My biggest fear when I first started [...]

If you read very many blogs you have probably seen a post of two about bloggers picking their Word of the Year. I think the whole idea was started by Ali over at aliedwards. Last year I jumped on the bandwagon and declared a word of the year for 2009. I dedicated a Christmas tree to [...]
