In Which I Fall Into A Portal

Those of you concerned that I died from cinnamon poisoning, fear not, I’m still kickin’. I also still like cinnamon, which is a plus. The past few days have been overwhelmingly busy, and to make a busy couple days even worse — Kate Baker introduced me to Portal.

More Spice

After I did the cinnamon challenge, Kate Baker gave it a go as well. Then, Donna got home, and figured she’d give it a try too. 🙂 Here is Donna doing the cinnamon challenge: Carlie: I’m pretty sure you have to do the challenge now… 😉

All About Me

Everybody’s doing it, so I figgered I would too. I saw Jim’s first, so officially that’s the one I’m responding to. Enjoy: 1) Ever been in a relationship lasting over 5 years?

We made sure all the frozen stuff was put away, and all the cold stuff went to the fridge. Noodles, etc — still on the table. As … Read more
