You know that feeling when you want to throat punch the guy who left a shopping cart in a prime parking spot because he was too lazy to push it into one of those corrals? You wouldn’t be the cause of all this mess, would you? I don’t understand the philosophy on not pushing the [...]

Who Will Win The Kentucky Derby Horse Races This Weekend?

Reesha — Thu, 02 May 2013 06:50:51 +0000

The Kentucky Derby is coming up just around the corner! I get excited because you're supposed to wear a big hat, pretty dress, and sip on a mint julep (optional) and chew on some fried chicken! It's a fun quadfecta!

So then tell me why I have missed catching it on tv for the past 5 years? It's pathetic, really, especially since I'm from Nashville, TN, and Louisville is practically a stone's throw away (enough to feel like Nashville's cousin).

I Finally Got A Keurig!

Reesha — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 06:36:45 +0000

I just bought my first ever Keurig.

I’m late to the game, I know it. But I have been trying to grab one on ebay for the LONGEST time, for cheap, and it just never worked out. After many years of dragging my bum to the long lines at places that rhyme with "Marbucks" and "Morthtown", and enduring my mom's bi-annual visits from Tennesee, with her yelling at me, "Why don't you have a coffee maker in this house?!!", I decided it was time to join the real world and get something that I didn't discover and buy at a thrift shop, only to find out it was missing several important pieces
