Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Anonymous wrote: I came across your website and blog on your Nando’s experience. Anyway 2 years after your bad experience have you been again to Nando’s? I am from Australia and their chicken is pretty good down here. My children and I love Nando’s. After over 2 years, I still hate Nando’s with an undying passion. Whenever we pass a Nando’s restaurant, or anyone mentions Nando’s, I always bring up how disgusting I think their food was. Every friend I have knows how I feel about Nando’s. I can never bring myself to eat there again, after being served moldy … Continue reading →

Or at least I’m trying to bring out my winter coats. I cannot find any of them (I have 3). They have to be somewhere in the house. But I seem to have misplaced them when I moved in with BF.

As for my sister’s gift, I’m stumped. I’ve been perusing Etsy and Overstocked for ideas, and might just … Continue reading →

Whatever Bob Dylan is on these days, I want some of it. Seriously. Christmas songs? Dancing!? Unbelievably awesome. Embedding has been disabled for the video, so check it out here. If you can handle it.

Yesterday I had the worst headache and wasn’t feeling very good all day. I even considered leaving work early in case I was starting to come down with something (still feel pretty crummy, but better than yesterday). Anyway I came home from work and BF had made me my favourite dinner – breakfast! :) Eggs, bacon, hash browns (with onions, mushrooms & broccoli), and toast. So good. Then we decided to go to the Marble Slab Creamery for dessert. I know, so bad for you. BF had never been, and I had only gone once before, a long time ago. … Continue reading →
