Of laughs and poochies

You guys crack me up. Over the last few days, I received some of the funniest e-mails and text messages about my "Confessions"...it's good to know I'm in good company! :)

This week flew by faster than my dad chasing a good deal...lots of catching up with people. I love finding new (or re-finding old) places like Over the Moon with the world's best grilled cheese (thanks, Jackie), Blue Olive and their incredible chicken caesar salad (nothing beats time with Schrammy), lemon chicken at Vince's (with the always amusing Michael G and Rachael), and my favorite fondue at the Melting Pot (featuring the always super fabulous Miss Kris and Mikey).

But, of course, nothing beats waking people up with pots and pans at 7:30 am at a Bellarmine retreat on a Saturday morning. I miss Natural Helpers retreats. They were the best.

And for the record, I have never had more fun in a pool than I did with Brian Fulker in his class. You'll definitely find me there again next week.

As with all things, a little change is good...so I gave Viper's World a little face lift. Haven't updated the banner much recently, so here's a quick look back at the different ones since I started designing them...
