Halloween Strategies from a Fat Kid

October 31, 2010

Every Halloween, my sister and I always had great costumes. Well, except the year that I was a lumberjack. Imagine a 13 year old in a flannel shirt with dark denim overalls, boots, a hat and a coffee grounds beard. Yes, you read that last part right. My mom saw on the ...

Review: Just Dance 2 for Wii

October 28, 2010

I was really excited when I was offered to review the new Wii video game, Just Dance 2. You guys should know by now that I'm not a sell out and would never give a dishonest review just because I was provided something without charge. My reputation is worth more than a $40 game! But in ...

10.27.2010

Ode to Spaghetti Squash

10.21.2010

Oh dear spaghetti squash, how have I lived a life without your filling fiber? Your strands of sauce delivery? You are the ying to my yang… for this week at least. I went to the grocery store (one of my least favorite activities EVER) and they had this massive display of pumpkins, gourds and funny …

Writers Block

10.20.2010

What happens when a blogger has writers block? I had it last night, and was feeling it today. So, I went to Twitter, and Molly, aka Fluffy Girl, suggested I write about protein shakes/smoothies.
