Today it’s a full day of school, and with Jon and Stephen also graciously going on vacation, I’m feeling full of possibilities, as long as those possibilities include a run to the grocery store.

Yep, I’ve got a lot of bacn. And in the name of simplication, I’ve been trying to figure out which bacn I need, and which just shows up, only to be quickly deleted. Daily Candy is tasty, much needed Bacn. However, it’s goodbye to eBay and Bluefly’s daily updates. And there’s more work/unsubscribing to be done.
