What the heck were we eating before?
Posted on February 25, 2010 | 6 CommentsSaw this as I was dozing off last night. Campbell’s Creations Soups had a tagline that said: “Made with real vegetables, like celery, carrots and broccoli like you’d find in a homemade soup!” All I could think was: So what the heck were we buying/eating... -
Current Computer Setup
Posted on February 23, 2010 | 5 CommentsAs requested, here are the pictures! It might seem like extra stuff and it is. It’s two extra pieces, and while they do stack and fold flat on top of each other, they’re still extras. However, I’ve noticed the following: Change in my posture I...
