It's absolutely no secret that smoness and I love our reality television. We have so many guilty pleasures in that regard that, at this point, they're just pleasures. Yeah, I'm looking at you, "Jerseylicious." Don't judge me, Internet. I didn't watch on purpose. Seriously. The TV was on that channel when I turned it on, and by the time I reached for the ( Read more... )

So, a few years ago, I was introduced to the disgusting strain of staph infection known as MRSA. Read about it here. So when I started feeling tenderness in my left ear Friday night, I understandably considered my body called another staph meeting. The swelling and pain progressed over the course of the weekend, and by Sunday afternoon, it was just ( Read more... )

Let's travel back in time to an era I like to call "6 a.m. Today." That's when I stumbled out of bed and made my way into the shower. Like most people, when I get out ( Read more... )

Quite a while back, Lindsey and I noticed a little, unassuming noodle house on Shepherd, nestled at the end of a tiny strip center. Since we'd recently gotten back from Thailand, and we love Asian food, we decided to give it a try. We've been hooked on Jenni's Noodle House ever since.
