Last week, I had the opportunity to take my fiancée, Kelly, to Olive Garden to experience their never-ending pasta bowl, which ends on the 22nd. Since we went on a Tuesday evening, we were able to miss most of the crowds. On a busy weekend there can easily be 45...
Alcohol abuse is no party
I smell like a minibar DJ’s passed out in the yard Barbie’s on the barbeque This a hickie or a bruise? – From Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) Oh, Katy Perry, you make last Friday night sound like so much fun! We can forget that we have a paper due on Monday or a giant...
