So, a few weeks ago, we hit the mark and headed over for a well-earned meal and we were NOT dissappointed. Carman’s across the street from 11th District police (holla, boys!

If they didn’t serve some booze, I’d never have made it through half of the ones I’ve attended. At least you can look forward to the wedding, but not if you’re not invited!! Continue reading

This is one of those rare times I’ve found a product that lived up to my expectations, not that my expectations of shower gel are all that great. But, Avalon Organics bath & shower gel really goes a long way. I find the lemony scent very invigorating, perfect for the morning shower.
