Just add meat 2008-09-11 20:41:28
I hate grocery shopping. Always have. So I put off going to the store as long as possible.

Berry Good For You 2008-09-26 09:36:41
I asked my daughter what kind of fruit she might like this week. She said cantaloupe. UGH, no more cantaloupe for a while!

Are You Ignoring Body Maintenance? 2008-10-18 21:55:20
