How many times have you had a tad too much to drink and promised yourself that was the last time you were ever going to do that again? Probably enough times that you could have sworn that you really mean it this time…don’t beat yourself up the next morning...

I have previously mentioned that I love Ziploc bags. I also enjoy teasing my mother (just a tad). After pretending to listen to the latest thing she learned from Dr. Oz, I decided to humor her and check out the show. Wouldn’t you know it, but the day I checked...
