So we need a new pepper grinder (or for you more cultural folks out there, a peppermill). Apparently dropping your old pepper grinder repeatedly on the floor will only get you so far. I love fresh pepper and actually put a ton on before I even taste my food. Yeah, bad habit I know. So Continue Reading

Sure there are plenty of Valentine's Day Coupons and Deals going on, but I thought I'd share a few neat V-Day neat contests going on right now. Jo of LifeWithHeathens and Black Belt Mama of BBM Reviews are each giving away 3 boxes of personalized Fruit-Roll-Ups snacks. These are actually really neat, as you can Continue Reading

I had a pretty good childhood growing up. I'll admit it. My mom baked us zillions of cookies all the time. Dad had a great job. We were always fed, clothed and had more toys then some local toy stores. I always thought we were extremely average, though looking back now I think I could Continue Reading

Last night I went out with a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in quite some time and finally got to see Cloverfield. I'm a fan of J.J. Abrams (creator of Alias and Lost), and especially of movies that take chances and do things a bit differently. If you're unfamiliar with the film, the Continue Reading

These awesome super-limited Chocolate Miis in a Wii-Style box from Paul Pape Designs are already sold out. Sure to melt any Nintendo-couple's hearts, these limited-edition sets featured chocolate Continue Reading

I'll admit it. When Futurama first came on the air, I was soooo excited for it, being a monstrously huge Simpsons fan. But once I actually saw it, I was kind of bored and irritated and thought the whole show seemed way too forced. I watched maybe 4 or 5 episodes and then gave up. Continue Reading

Twice in my life I've had a beard. No, scratch that. Thrice. But only two were by choice. See, the first time was back in high school when I caught the chicken pox and couldn't shave for months, so I came back to school with this spotty, scraggly beard. Yeah, that was fun. But the Continue Reading

I enjoy milk in my coffee. Not a lot, just a little. Enough to take the initial bitterness out I guess. Call me a wuss. It's okay, I can take it. I also like milk in cereal whenever I have it. You really cannot beat the greenish purple milk left at the bottom of your Continue Reading

For as long as I can remember, I've loved playing board games. I spent many summers growing up playing everything from Monopoly to Dungeon Dice to Risk. Thankfully my neighborhood friends (Gary especially) were really into it too. Gary had two older brothers who also dug games, so his basement was literally like a Museum Continue Reading

I still have a few assorted memes and awards to post about, but this latest one is a bit time sensitive as it relates to the New Year's Holiday. And seeing as how it's only about 2 weeks into January, I better do this one now before I blink and it's suddenly June or something. Continue Reading

Growing up in the '80s, we had our fair share of bowling alleys in the county. And for some reason, I always loved going bowling. My dad was really into it, and even had a few trophies around the house. Actually my older sister liked it too. We'd all go as a family pretty often Continue Reading
