	We Go Together by Heather Wetzel Some things are meant to go together. It’s easy like that.It’s like a game when someone says one word, and then you say the first word that comes to mind upon hearing that word – you know, the natural or most logical answer. Like if I said “dog” you’d perhaps say “bark” or “cat”. Or if I said “cotton”, you might say “candy” or “ball”.…	1 vote 460 views
	Adventures in Suburbia by Heather Wetzel Last week, Chris and I retreated to Bay Area Suburbia for a few days. A friend of mine recently moved from the city to the ‘burbs, and when she went out of town for a while, the four cats left behind were in need of a little (okay, a lot of) attention.Needless to say, we were eager to cheat on our cats and hang out with hers, and the…	1 vote 267 views
	Ragù: It’s in there by Heather Wetzel I’m sure many of you are trying your damnedest to not turn on a single heat source, right? Facebook and Twitter are loaded with complaints about the hot weather in most parts of the country. In fact, my pops told me today that he almost breaks out in a sweat on the way to the mailbox (he was exaggerating, but only slightly).But I have…	1 vote 303 views
	Makin’ Whoopie by Heather Wetzel On occasion, and contrary to what I said the other day about moderation, I like to use a stupendous amount of butter. Yeah, that’s right. Stupendous.Like 4 sticks in 1 recipe. Sure, that’s breakfast for Paula Deen, but over here those four sticks usually last a month or more.It’s all a ploy to make new friends – that’s all. You won’t…	1 vote 339 views
	Shuckin’ Awesome by Heather Wetzel If I were single, I’d carry around a checklist so that I could easily weed in or weed out potential mates. Maybe not a physical list, but perhaps a note on my iPhone or something a little less obvious…But seeing as how I haven’t needed to think about that for quite some time now, I’d probably be pretty clueless about what to include…	1 vote 364 views
	A New Standby by Heather Wetzel I’ll admit one thing to you today, and that’s this: I like to plan. You probably know this by now, if you’ve paid attention. You probably know that we’re pretty on the ball when it comes to vacations, like last year when we drove down the Pacific Coast Highway. We had most of the hotels booked, a few points of interest mapped out,…	1 vote 270 views
	In Moderation by Heather Wetzel Let me just tell you how outta freaking shape I feel these days. (Yes, we will wrap ice cream into this conversation. Watch and learn, children.) Okay, for realz – how outta freaking shape I am. Let’s be honest. It ain’t pretty.Sure, my clothes are all the same size; they more or less fit the same as they have for oh, 4 years now. But…	1 vote 339 views
	Otto-who? Otto-what? by Heather Wetzel Over a year ago, I had this crazy idea of going vegetarian. Okay, I’m not telling the truth here. I had the idea of going pescatarian, and only for a month – it was not to be a permanent change. It seemed doable, and this is coming from someone who tends to really like meat. I fought my way through it, even tossing away a lovely piece…	1 vote 263 views
	Top of My List by Heather Wetzel July absolutely has to be one of my very favorite months. I’m also a big fan of November (because of Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday). September and October aren’t too bad, either. And while I’m at it, I may as well throw in August, which means we are clearly at the very beginning of all of my favorite times of the year. Let the…	1 vote 305 views
	Holy Mole! by Heather Wetzel I’ve walked through my gramma’s house at least a thousand times. I could tell you about the newspaper clippings that were on her fridge, and the pictures of all her grandkids that sat atop the desk in the living room with the gold shaggy carpet. Of course, I remembered those pictures because there was one of every grandkid, but me –…	1 vote 357 views
