Hello! and welcome to my first blog! I aim to help people with this website. On a day to day basis, i wake up feeling groggy, fat, ugly, overweight, underweight all sorts of things.

It may look like a modern take on Oliver Twist but, we assure you, this is for real. Before you get too alarmed, however, you should note that the headline reads "how to steal cars" and not simply "to steal cars."

When I first saw Stacy of The Birthday Blog's gigantic S'more, I'll admit, I got pretty excited at the prospect of eating a massive marshmallow.

We've just postponed our trip to Bocas del Toro, Panama... indefinitely. The challenge with surf travel is weather really has to be perfect. Surf not too small, not too big.
