Sea-Monkeys are Awesome!!!
Well, Sir Buffalo Sushi is back once more! And guess what you will know after reading this post… THAT SEA-MONKEYS DIDN’T DIE OUT IN THE 70′s!

Head on over to the best candy site on the Internet (I’ve got no bias, truly, I haven’t): Candy Yum Yum. Oh, and totally coincidentally, I share my own Polka Dotted thoughts on candy in today’s post! ‘Course, my answers kinda make me look a little hyped up on sugar, but is that such a [...]
Did I hear that right?
This morning, I was looking through a list of vocabulary for sixth graders. I was bouncing a couple off Sir, to see if he knew them. And then came the word, “haughty.” The definition of which Sir says is “a good-looking woman.” No, that would be hottie, and I blame Big Fish for even letting [...]
