Fabulous Friday: Smoked Salmon Trim

I know the words "cheap" and "fish" are not often used together, especially in a sentence talking about a good idea, but I'm going to attempt. All week, I've been eating smoked salmon. I had a salmon quesadilla, I had some salmon sushi, I even had some salmon and...

Battling The Gray Area

Ahhh! I'm Aging! It is something about our company bathroom's combination of natural and fluorescent lighting... okay, scratch that. It's something about the way I look in any light, or more specifically how a certain part of me looks. My gray hair is...
