Sigh. My cockatiel is losing weight. Why do all my pets die? Ugh. First Jake, and now Lyra.

My mom is making me blog. See? Six words! I’m so special.

No, I’m not about to link an Epicurious Shepard’s pie, or chicken noodle soup recipe. I’m sorely tempted though. Because I think this will count as over-sharing, at least emotion wise. Ms. M, my P.E. teacher says “Never say ‘can’t’”. I always reply: “Never say ‘never’”. Because there’s always something you can’t do. It’s only [...]

I look out my window, and pull it open. Hear the squeal as it slides along its track. It doesn’t matter. Because finally, finally, there is a smell in the air. And it’s warm. People equate spring with flowers, but the smell is nothing so heinously stereotyped. The smell of spring is the smell of [...]

First, let me say the NAME IS NONE OF MY DOING!!!!! Oh. My. Gosh. I wanted her named Anita, or SOMETHING, but, nooooo, she was named WILMA!!! Before I go into full rant-mode, let me explain. Our dog, Jake, died. I really don’t want to go into that. My Mom was trying to convince Denise [...]

On my nice little laptop at my dad’s house, I’ve had a problem for a while. My default  page (Google) turned into something called “mywebsearch”. Umm…just for the record, I, being most likely the only computer illiterate blogger EVER, do not even know HOW to change such a thing. Also, a folder called “homework” popped [...]

I call you guinea pigs, my devoted or not-so-devoted readers because you are about to be subject to a short story. My short story. It’s not too late to turn back. …No? Brave soul. You see, my drop-dead gorgeous mother was talking to me the other day and she informed me that she had noticed [...]

I’ve made this recipe quite a few times, and it’s recieved great reviews each time. Not from Epicurious for once! It’s really good and easy, plus it’s been described as “Coma-inducing”. In a good way. Ghiradelli Grand Fudge Cake I suggest puree-ing raspberries and spreading them between the layers. Chocolate and raspberries…yum!
