Totally Tracie

Yesterday, I did something that I have never done before.  I flew a kite!  It was really very easy, fun, and relaxing.  Once I caught a breeze, I was flying.  I don't know why but I always thought it would be complicated.

I have the coolest family ever!  A little over a week ago, I celebrated my 40th birthday.  My husband had a special weekend planned but circumstances out of our control changed all that.

A listener sent me a message on Facebook about the perfect Wednesday song.  Yes, the song is a joke but I think I like it.

Some friends sent me and email that had some fun facts in it.  I thought this one was kind of cool.  It is a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet, otherwise known as a pangram.  This one isn't anything fancy, it is simple, just how I like it.

With St. Patrick's Day on the way, it is a great excuse to try some yummy Irish spirits.  I have to admit, when I think of Irish drinks, Shamrock shake usually pops in my head first.  But I'm talking about harder drinks.  The ones that makes the leprechauns do a little jig...

St. Patrick's day is just around the corner, Sunday March 17, 2013.  A weekend of wearing of the green, Guinness, Bailey's, and Jameson's.  You've had your favorite Irish drinks in a glass, now try them in a dessert.  Here are my top 5 picks for St. Patrick's Day desserts: Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes

A list of the "Top Ten Things That You Should Never Say During A Break Up" has been compiled by ivillage.com.  Nobody likes to get dumped but apparently hearing these lines make it even worse.  There are a couple of surprises on the list as well as the typical break up cliches:

After watching the Taylor Swift goat edition of "I Knew You Were Trouble", it has come to my attention that the screaming goat (sheep) has been around for a while.  I watched a series of videos to come up with my top 5 picks.  Although it wasn't hard work laughing my way through the clips, I hope you appreciate my research...
