Oh! That’s amazing and generous and exciting. I will check it out today. Thank you for the affirmation.
“My therapist, who is NOT Sigmund Freud.” Haha. HI-LA-RIOUS! I remember having to study his stages of psychosexual development. The horror!
Hey, read some of your posts after seeing it on Freshly Pressed (congrats by the way.) I lived in Chicago until just recently so it was great to see someone from there. Spent 20 years just west of Wrigley and another 10 in Lincoln Park.
Yay Chicago! Do you miss it? I am officially in love lo these 15 years later.

My family’s still there and I”ll be there in two weeks. Great city but after 40+ years there…I do not miss the winters!
Right– those 10 months suck!

Exactly. And you didn’t even get a Summer this year, you got August for three months.
Best About Page ever. I need to rewrite mine – I word vomited all over it.
Now I have to go look! Can you believe I just figured out you live in Malaysia? I’m so slow!
i love you outlaw mama, but you’re lying, your jeans are way hotter than any at Costco. Yours might even be Targetian.
Busted! I actually do have a pair or two from Nordstrom Rack. Yes. I lie.
Hello there!
I noticed in your post that you were talking about the marathon in Chicago…
Boomie Bol and I are both blogger friends of Patty (discover & devour) and are very worried. She lives in the Chicago area and has a husband named Andy. The last post or comment was 7/30 and nothing since. This is not like her and we are concerned.
I guess thought I would take a long shot that you might know her personally. If you know her, please email mytwicebakedpotato@yahoo.com
Thank you!
Oh no! I don’t know her. How scary. I hope she’s just busy and nothing is wrong.
hey there, i just wanted to drop you a note. this week’s blogger idol assignment is to write about 4 blogs you love and sell them. i was including yours and wondered if you wouldn’t mind if i used an image from your site?? Let me know. And congrats on YW.
Awww! Go for it! How lovely. Go you!

Great to see you!
You won me. Now, what the hell are you going to do? I will be all over this blog like the Vaseline that currently resides all over my swollen, chapped-ass hands. There WAS a compliment in there somewhere, did ya see it?
I am so happy I found this blog and thanks for the follow!
