Super Size Me — A Review. Of Sorts.

Super-Size-Me

I know I’m probably the last person in the civilized world to see this movie, but when it came out, I scoffed.  I knew McDonalds was horrible for the health of anyone who eats it more than once a month, but I loved my occasional Quarter Pounder with fries (never super sized, I might add), [...]

Afterall, Necessity Is the Mother of Invention

I don’t know about you, but I’m always in search of miraculous undergarments to hold my post-childbearing body together.  I have had many a daydream of inventing the perfect product, but I figured if I waited long enough, someone would do all the hard work for me.  And whatddya know, my laziness patience was rewarded [...]

I love her understated sense of [...]
