This sweet little blog has been without a Mettle Maker or some Internet Lovin' for too long....way, WAY too long...

First, let's make some Mettle...

P!nk Lyrics. I'm in. (Plus, it keeps with my whole, I'M ON FIRE! theme...)

I really wanted to take some early morning advice from Amy this trip. So far, I've been waking up 10 minutes before I need to be on the bridge. Fail.

Anyone who has lived in New England for any amount of time has had an encounter with a Mass-Hole that has stuck with them. If you know and love any Mass-Holes you might think this is hilarious.

I'm still working on my 2013 intentions. I know! I have them all set and then I make changes. Elise compares Goals and To Do's. Good Read!

A VERY belated tribute to Senator Inouye. Merchant Marines will miss your staunch support of the Jones Act.

Bathroom Basket round up. Nuff Said.

Those links should keep you busy for awhile. Enjoy!
