    Guys, I’m famous. Just kidding of course. But I did meet a really sweet girl this weekend …. who get this … read my blog and not because I sent it to her and was like “check out this recipe I made” or more likely than not “look I posted a picture of a seal”.…

    Flowers for me?

    I was recently given flowers for no occasion… and it was awesome. It was not: – my birthday – a holiday – a party – a Friday or Saturday It was a Monday and I made dinner. I couldn’t believe it. Apparently, chivalry does still exist? A few notes: – My sister made the vase…
