Mexican Bloody Mary – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · April 22, 2011 ·

I've just spent the better part of a week in San Diego for spring break with my family. No, we didn't go to the zoo. Yes, we went to Sea World and LEGOLAND.

I often come in with a travel mug of … [Read more...] about Call of Duty

Snacks to Pack for the Plane

Ilinap · April 12, 2011 ·

Gone are the days of high class air travel. On a recent cross country American Airlines flight we didn't even get a packet of peanuts. By the time the steel cart made its way to me in row 26, the ever so friendly Audrey sneered as she pranced by announcing that all the sandwiches … [Read more...] about Snacks to Pack for the Plane
