Yesterday was simply amaizeing. Yes, I know that I am spelling “amazing” wrong. After work, a few of my coworkers and I did something WILD and CRAZY. We went to a corn maze. It was actually called, “The Amazing Maize Maze.” 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats cooked in 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1 [...]
Where do I begin? This weekend has been strange. It was nice seeing old friends and exciting to hear where life has taken them. It was sad realizing that although somethings stay the same, many things change. It was reassuring to know that I have an idea of what I want to do with my [...]
