Tell us about Pharm Cook and more specifically http://www.ohmythisisgood.com
I guess this is my mid life crisis movement! For so many years I tried to ignore my love of food because I have always struggled with my weight....even praying that God would take this obsession for me. Garth Brooks said it best "Thank God for unanswered Prayers". For what I once believed to be a thorn in my side I now recognize as an incredible Gift.
Who is Lucy and why is she Important?
She is my 10 year old Mini Van and I so did Not want a mini van but it was so practical and now I am sentimentally attached to her. She has been with me during the raising of my children.
I remember when I needed "Mommy Time" I would go into the garage and listen to the quiet (twin boys remember). I am the only girl in the house so when the testosterone gets a bit overwhelming she (Lucy) and I escape for awhile.
What is one Wish you have for your website?
