    I love grilling. I was pretty happy that I was able to maintain ownership of our awesome grill after the divorce. I got the house, and the grill came with it, since my ex-husband was moving into an apartment. SCORE.

    I know, it's silly. But it's the little things in life, people. We have to celebrate even the smallest of victories.

    Are you a fan of grilling? I feel so fortunate to be able to grill year-round in Miami! I remember way, way back when a friend was in Washington DC during a huge snow storm and she posted a photo of her in her puffy down jacket and mittens grilling burgers in five feet of snow. I laughed so hard...then sent her a private message of me in my shorts and tank top grilling burgers.

    Sometimes I can be mean to my friends, but it's all in good fun!
