But this time it is in Florida instead of California, so hooray for variety, or something… Today’s flight was a tough one today, partly due to the sheer length, the rushing to change planes, the multiple crying children (and I am very . . . → Read More: On the road again… This has been a banner week for me so far. Not only did I blow dry my hair and straighten it yesterday, but I did today as well! Yes friends, that is TWO days in a row! Actually, scratch that, I did on Saturday and Sunday too, so that is FOUR days in a . . . → Read More: Thoughts for a Tuesday (This “vintage” lunchbox for sale on Etsy. Vintage! Am I that old?)

So here you go: 1. Cinnamon Twists from Taco Bell. Today I went through the drive-thru and the girl happily informed me that the cinnamon twists were free for “customer appreciation”. Score! But . . . → Read More: A list As I mentioned in a previous post, one of the biggest changes with my new job is that I work with almost all men.
