The title of this post is something Husband said to me after I got the call to head to Boy and Girl’s home to help with Sweet E, but couldn’t because I had caught a cold. You’d Never Make It In The Big Leagues Yes, we relate our life to sports stuff around here. I …

Some days nothing but a frosted brownie will do. Hello, lover… Yep, some days require a little one-on-one time with some quality chocolate and a generous dose of cream cheese frosting. Hello, darling… The dirty little secret here, is that sometimes I bake from a box and add a splash of my own homemade signature …

Friday I was jumpy and fidgety and holy hell cray cray as some of you say (fine, as I say). I needed a run desperately. Husband even called me mid-morning: You’re gonna go run, right? Meh. I wasn’t feeling it, which I can tell you is unusual. Then, I thought of Husband and how he …
