Sometimes when I go to bed there's half a loaf of bread or a box of cookies on the counter and in the morning it's gone so clearly I have either poltergeists or teenagers.

My favorite crossing guard was doing a "Singin' in the Rain" strut with her umbrella when I passed her this morning and I hope she knows how much joy she brings to random passers-by.

Preparing dinner for family members with various dietary needs and preferences and I think I just invented the fried rice buffet bar. This absolutely needs to become a thing.

I have been using fancy hair products recently and my hair is undeniably healthier, but sometimes I just miss the smell of Suave strawberry.

I am 57 years old and have only recently discovered a hairstyle that works with my hair, my hairstyling abilities, and the amount of time I am willing to spend on my hair. The hardest part is balancing this with my love of hats.

Due to the trifecta of needing to do an early morning grocery run, the $6 meal deal at Dunks, and RKF Jr. being an idiot, I am now pondering the question: Do I eat the hashbrowns first, as an appetizer, or last, as dessert?

When it's February and you still have flavored K-cups called "White Christmas" and "Santa's Special," that's justification for a second cup, right? Asking for a friend.

3 years ago I salvaged a box of 100 plastic Easter eggs that were going to be thrown away during a closet cleanout and today someone on the local Buy Nothing page needed some for a good cause and this is why I'm a hoarder. #theyllcomeinhandysomeday
