Happy Birthday to me! So… this is 50!
It feels weird and unremarkable, and yet as much as I know that turning 50 is still quite a big deal… I’m having a little trouble feeling it just yet.

#FlashbackFriday: Cocktails and Cheez-Its
Cheez-Its, am I right? Looking back to a time when I was in one those, “just because I can” moods. Honestly, what else was I supposed to do with Scrabble Cheez-Its aside from eat them? And can we talk about...
