• Random things I like to do.

    Eat Cool Whip out of the container.  I mean, seriously, WHAT could be better?  I've never been one to count calories.  If I feel good, I am good!  I also use REAL butter….no fake stuff, because otherwise, what's the point? Drive with the windows down in 99% humidity.  I am a…

  • Scott Naturals 4-Week Test Drive: Week 3
