Let me tell you about a day in the life of Trissalicious. I get up a little before 6 am and take my two labradors for an hour long walk. Then I go to work, where I spent a good nine or ten hours of the day. When I get home, I cook dinner, eat dinner, do [...]

I hated eating my veggies as a child. I remember having dinner every night with the family and how my parents would insist that no one could leave the table until all our vegetables were finished. I knew of course this vendetta was solely targeted at me as my sibling never had the same aversion. [...]

I was absolutely crazy to want a December wedding. I had this perception that it would be more romantic to get married during the Christmas holidays.
