Freezing corn, cute kittens, and a near crisis…
Well. Sometimes. Just SOMETIMES...I overreact. You all. Listen. If you had the traumatic incident that I had yesterday while freezing corn, you would have reacted the SAME WAY. I'm almost sure of it.

Weekend Recap: Summertime fun
What a jam-packed weekend we had. It was so busy, that I felt the need to recover yesterday by sleeping in. Sleeping in these days means getting up at 7:20. (A far cry from the college days when sleeping in meant waking up just in time to go grab some lunch. Oh, the good ol' ...
