    Word of the Year 2025

    Since, I’ve talked about ebay here, I thought it’d be appropriate to give you a little update on how my ebay selling is going, and how I’m changing my focus a little bit. I’ve actually had lower income with ebay lately, which is strange, as I have more items listed now than I did before.…

    I want to be a dandelion because they’re useful, in particular, they’re edible. I don’t know that I’ve ever eaten them, but I did see my nephew stuff one into his mouth once! Just like the dandelion is useful to others, I want to be useful too. I want to be a dandelion because they…

    Most people are like, “What’s your favorite holiday flavor? Pumpkin spice? Ginger? Peppermint?” But what about cranberries??? I love them! The funny thing is I don’t put cranberry sauce on my turkey, and I don’t eat much of it plain, but mixed into things, it’s the bomb! I like it in… Muffins/sweet breads Oatmeal As…
