Today, I am thankful for board games. Most people, when they think of board games think of things like Monopoly or Clue, Park Brother games. Through my friends, I’ve discovered a whole world of awesome games out there. And nothing against Clue (lots against Monopoly), but these games are a Read more…
It’s the weekend and I don’t feel like writing much. So I’m going to declare my thankfulness for weekends. Having a time during the week where I don’t have to work is a wonderful thing. Thank you Labor Unions for these wonderful two days.
Today I am thankful for another minor, but nevertheless important, thing: the incredible, edible egg. Eggs have a strong running for my favorite food. There are so many different ways that they are good to eat or can be used in cooking other things. My favorite form is when combined Read more…
