A couple people have asked lately about how my cat allergies turned out and, never one to miss a good episode of The Poowwwwer of Positive Thinking, I must tell you. The first 2-3 weeks were spent sneezing so much I developed visible abs. Every time I touched the cat and then my face, whatever […]
The Wisdom of Grandparents, and Spicy Chicken Soup
You know those moments where you look at your grandparents and you are really, truly, amazed by their wisdom, life experience, positive outlook on life, and are just pretty darn proud of being the offspring of a couple of pretty good eggs?
