There is no better excuse to blog than driving 30 minutes to work and realizing that you left everything that you needed for the day at home. The good thing is, boss is out and I don't have any major deadlines coming up anyway. I have a class in 3 hours so I guess I'll just use up some of my time by writing a long over due blog post.

Add a little sweet to your summer!
I've accepted that it is going to be a hot summer. Temperatures have reached above 100 degrees for the past few days, and it is only going to get hotter. When the AC and the ceiling fans just don't suffice, I've found comfort in something sweet. I always claimed I didn't like sweet tea. Until I moved south of the Mason-Dixon line and realized that I'd never actually had real sweet tea. And now I can't get enough of it. It is the number one drink of the south, and why it is not for the rest of ... View the Post
