Hello…my name is Mindy…and I’m addicted to anything with a girly, cutesy name. I tend to seek out and gravitate toward things like Hello Kitty,Pink Passion fingernail polish, Bonnebelle and Lipsmackers…Bikini Martinis. Okay, I’ll admit, I do like to imbibe a teensy bit. Not enough to fall on the ground in a drunken stupor, drooling […]

Bacon? Pasta? Ranch Dressing? Each on their own…wonderful. Mixed together in a delectable pasta salad? Um…yes please.
