Today I worked on the farm painting posts and filling in ditches with mud. It wasn't that difficult but it was a lot of hours exerting energy. My consultant advised me to pay attention to how I feel on these days. She's concerned that with the manual labor on the farm I may...

Today is my friend's birthday party and then later a bonfire party at another friend's house. We were going to have a Halloween party instead of a bonfire but her grandfather passed away a few days ago and it just didn't feel right getting dressed up in costumes anymore. The ...

Do you absolutely love Panera like I do? It used to be one of my favorite places to eat out...that and Chipotle. The broccoli and cheddar soup is to die for - especially when you get it in a bread bowl. I'm also a huge fan of their panini's. They're delicious! &nb...
