Aside from this being a general request, there actually is real purpose in the title of this blog! However, in order to proceed in this post that you are all dying to read, I do have to ask you one question: What do you do to alleviate stress?

Some people run, and personally, I just don’t understand those people. Some people do yoga, which is more along my line of favor i.e. calmly sitting in precarious poses while listening to the sounds of a babbling brook in the background. Regardless though, I don’t do yoga nearly as much as I used to. Some people cuss (love you!) and I NEVER do that….insert moment where I avoid lightening strike… but it sounds relaxing. Some people go to relaxing weekend getaways- to those people…. I don’t know how much longer we can be friends 😉 And some of you even get massages. Now, that one I can totally understand, love and cherish. Just when do you find the time? I have a gift certificate for a massage that has been sitting in my desk drawer for almost a year and I just can’t find the time to work it in!

Today it was a bit of both. I am working, playing and dreaming up what exactly I am going to do with these fabric remnants that I have collected over the years. And need I ask if there is a more heavenly meal on the planet than BBQ Chicken Pizza. No. There is not.

I guess after days like today I should consider taking up running…… I will consider that while I chew on another slice of pizza.
