Let's talk true love. Or actually, the complete antithesis of true love.
Mannie, my sweet dog, is obsessed with squirrels. He loves to chase them, bark at them and stare at them. In fact, anything squirrel-related, he's all for it. I never let him off the leash to actually get them, and even if I did, they are way too quick for him. So we usually admire them from afar.

Cinnamon Roll Wrapped Donuts
Let's get straaaaaaight to the point here.
Cinnamon Roll Wrapped Donuts. I know you're going over the previous sentence trying to find some kind of typo but I'm afraid there's none. That sentence reads exactly how it shows. Cinnamon roll wrapped donuts. Heavens to Betsey.
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals simply because of the sheer amount of options and the fact

S’mores Donut Pie {and Birthday Freebies!!}
Ever since I was a child, I've been a lover of free things. Especially now that I'm an adult, I really love free things. Free stuff I don't have to spend one cent on? AWESOME.
My favorite time to "cash in" (or out? whatever) on free stuff is during my birthday month. Did you know TONS of places offer birthday freebies during the day or month of your birth?
So that

White Chocolate Snickers Blondie Bites
Sooooooooo remember that time when you nearly got yourself arrested in a case of mistaken identity? Me too.
It all started when I was driving home from a doctor's appointment. To get home, I pass a very busy park -- always swarming with kiddie soccer games, moms' pushing strollers and the like. It also happens to be near Dorothy's house. Remember? We're neighbors

Let's talk public restrooms for a second.
You know that time when you went to meet a friend for coffee at a quaint coffee chain that may or may not rhyme with "Marclucks" and you two spent three hours catching up over large iced teas and then you felt that sudden OMFG WHERE IS THE BATHROOM moment, only to get up and realize that there is a huuuuuge line outside of the

Dear People Who Wear White Pants,
I envy your fearlessness. Your clean style. Your ability to look at potential stain dangers in the face and say "SUCK IT!"
Because I, girl who fears germs, stains, and things that go completely out of my immediate control, cannot handle the concept of white pants. To me, white pants are like the beacon of bravery. People who do not

Guess who's back? Back agaiiiiiiin. Me!
I apologize for my MIA-ness but frankly I've just been enjoying the season, my unemployment, spending time with my family and dogs, and eating a hideous amount of Christmas cookies. You could definitely say I was experiencing 'holidaze' as I would literally roll out of bed, bake cookies and listen to carols all day long, and then

Salted Nut Roll Truffles
I have a bone to pick with my so-called "family."
It was to my understanding that family is supposed to be that group of people who know you. Who can look at your face and instantly tell that your smile is forced. Who can know exactly what is wrong, exactly what irks you, and exactly how to make you feel better after a long day.
But I am convinced my family thinks of me

Who was the worst boss you ever had?
Some of you may not know, but on Monday I was FINALLY freed from my own personal prison called my latest employer. This meant I was no longer responsible for answering calls from concerned clientele and responding with answers I was not confident with because our procedures and processes at that job made Alice and Wonderland look logical
