Since I blog about most things, why sweep this particular issue under the carpet? Why indeed! So here goes- I've been trying to find a space for myself (metaphorically) where I can relax and also burn some calories and maybe rid myself of the lard that's been lovingly accumulated over the years.

Eating Your Words
Let me assure you that having to eat your own words is not a culinary experience to aspire to. Nope! Classic cases of eating one's words that I'm pretty sure quite a few adults go through- When I grow up I won't talk to my kids the way my parents talk to me- Reality? We... Continue Reading →
In Cartoons We Trust
