THE BUFFER COUPLE

Have you been asked to go out with people whom you really don’t know well?  It’s awkward, right?  I never like to put myself, my spouse or anyone else for that matter in an uncomfortable situation so I’ve learned the only way to get around the awkwardness is to include what I like to call, … Continued

That's Funny… And I Don't Even Like Cats

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW… I saw this and laughed. Then said, “That’s Funny… And I Don’t Even Like Cats.” I hope it makes you laugh too. Wishing you all a great, unpolished day! That is all. Thanks Elissa Z.  You know how much I appreciate your humor!

The Camp Blog PART TWO: The Trunks Are Packed, So Now What?

Okay, so I got the trunks packed.  Yes, getting all the crap together in preparation for packing the trunks was the biggest pain in ass ever but honestly, once that part was done the act of actually putting the shit into the trunks wasn’t that bad.  I mean, it’s not rocket science.  Believe it or not, … Continued
