I Found the Answer
I love time. I know it sounds weird, but I love time. I love watches. I love fun clocks. I love to-do lists and goals and all-the-new-rage Bingo cards that allow me to plan my days, weeks, months and year to the fullest. I love marking off items on the to-do lists. I...
Butterscotch, Cherry or Humble Pie?
My mother-in-law used to make the best butterscotch pie in the world! We would always "fight" over who would get the last piece. Butterscotch is my favorite flavor of pie. Whether your favorite pie is cherry, butterscotch, apple or peach, the worst kind of pie to have...

I read a fictional story the other day about a lady who got stopped by a police officer while driving to work. She was visibly upset and confused as to why she was handcuffed and arrested. After spending a few hours in jail, the police officer released her with an...
If This Table Could Talk
