Using the Whole Chicken

For a short time when I was a kid, I used to eat chicken bones. Look, I took my membership in the Happy Plate Club seriously. I finished what was on my plate, including the bones. For a while, my mother could not figure out what was going on with my food and why there were never any bones on the plates. She thought I was giving them to the dog and told me to stop because it wasn’t good for him. I nodded sagely and said “Oh, don’t worry. Sam’s safe. I’m eating them.”

Just So You Know I Plan On Getting Really, Really Old

Have I ever told you guys how much I look forward to getting older? I love the idea of adding a year to my age. Since January this year, I’ve been telling people I’m 32. I’m not 32. I won’t be 32 for a few more months. I just always age myself up.

Then I have to backtrack and explain that I am obviously crazy because I am lying about how old I am. I’ve always been an old soul and I can’t wait until the outside matches the inside. Also, I really, really want silver or white hair because it looks cool.

Another Year, Another Freelancaversary

Last weekend, while you guys were out doing whatever it is you do when the weekend rolls around, my freelance career was adding another year under its belt. My freelancaversary is April 1st of every year and this year it fell on a weekend. I didn’t do anything special for it, unless you count the fact that I didn’t work.  I’m excited that I made it another year, especially since this year was such a game changer for me.
