Matter over mind (not mind over matter).

CAPES [something empowering] I have a friend who hops on the scale every day, but not because she's trying to lose weight.  Alternately, she religiously weighs herself to prove to her mind that - though she may have had a large bowl of ice cream the night before - it doesn't affect her weight the way her mind tells her that it does.  In a sense, she's placing matter over mind.  

COFFEE [latest trend or addiction]  The Station Pizzeria.  In Woodinville.  It pairs nicely between a wine tasting or two, and I completely recommend the Cubano.  And after a few wineries and pizzas, I refer to the #Capes section to remind myself that I didn't just gain 20lbs.    

THE COLOR ORANGE [something noteworthy] If one is going to the ACM Awards in Las Vegas, what should they wear?  This person is open for suggestions.  And they are also wondering if they can justify buying a new pair of boots?  

Carrie O'Key just loves to sing.

For the first time, I am releasing my karaoke list.

Three+ years in the making, 
it records the songs that I* have karaoked 
(the x's mark the repeat offenders).

Please don't judge me.

* Occasionally featuring appearances by Tennessee and other Baranof hoodlums.   

Cheese. Cheese. And more cheese!

CAPES [something empowering] If you're going to talk about someone behind their back, make sure they are not sitting directly beside you at your local watering hole.  This happened to me last night.  I'm glad I didn't say anything I wouldn't have...but it's a good reminder nonetheless.   

COFFEE [latest trend or addiction] The recipe for Beecher's "World's Best" Mac & Cheese pretty much has one ingredient: cheese.  The noodles are thrown in there so you aren't just eating straight cheese sauce (which I've done and it's delicious).  

THE COLOR ORANGE [something noteworthy] Did you know that more guacamole gets consumed on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day out of the year?  Not even Cinco De Mayo tops it!
