Yes I’m doing Whole30 again.  No I’m not starving to death as you can see from my above salad. Yesterday I totally cheated. Little known tidbit is I have an ulcer I’ve had them off and on since child hood. I stress. It’s my superpower. I play that darn what if game so hard in my head and sometimes when I see that to do list I see the whole darn thing in my head instead of the bits and pieces. I see that I need to make 5 lbs of tattoo balm or almost 300 POUNDS of soap over...

I had this great thought out post I had planned to share with you today, however I was finishing up so many other things I had been procrastinating and I just never got the chance to crunch the numbers for it.

I didn’t take a ton of pictures in January so you are saved from a post with eleventh billion pictures in it again.  Lexi got a kindle and this was how we found her (and often still do) for hours on end.                     Then I spent a bazillion hours on the couch watching the 1st season of Game of Thrones and part of Homeland and talking with my Dad who was still visiting while I knit Jack up this new friend from this pattern. Then even though it seemed like we...
