My Favorite Thanksgiving Things: Part 3
So last night I was thinking about what I’m thankful for – what with Thanksgiving coming up and everything. I feel blessed for so many reasons and feel truly happy with my life.

My Favorite Things
Since Monday’s post was strictly dedicated to roasted asparagus, let’s talk Halloween. I was excited to have TWO different costumes for the day – one for work, one for the evening. For the work costume competition, I was Carmen Sandiego (headed to Illinois because that was the only map in my car). And for the…
