I am sure you have seen these bumper stickers plastered all over liberal hippy scum cars. Right? They are usually right above the big "Namaste" sticker.

I wanted to jar you out of your "shame" mentality with the title (s) . Did I succeed? Only time will tell. It seems like an unrelated and possibly unintelligible grouping of words and discourses.

I love you, Mr. Dewey… Organize your home library, if you dare!
I have a TON of books. Even to say that I have a ton of books does not do my books justice. Between my husband and I, we are fairly close to book hoarders, especially prior to the clean-up.

Top 5 Best North County Craft Beer Breweries
This is long in coming. Why? Because my husband and I are what you might call "beer bitches". What that means is that we are incredibly picky with beer. We mock people who drink average beer and we go against the norm of IPA. In fact, it is safe to say that we hate IPAs. My husband brews his own … [Read more...]

So today I came across a blog in which they were featuring sweet potato sliders. I am a vegetarian so I took a gander. They look great, but why the sweet potatoes as buns? and then, I started reading. Their family is eliminating foods that cause inflammation. Implicated in that list were gluten, … [Read more...]

Does all that Money Stuff in the Bible Really Apply to Me?
Well...in short, yes. You are screwed. Read the Bible, it is a hard and bitter pill to swallow. We will get back to that...let me start with how I got here. I grew up in south Orange County California (OC), in one of the wealthiest places in the United States. I lived there all my life. We didn't … [Read more...]
