OK, to be honest, I’m not running at the park am I? I’m sitting on my butt. As I watched you do power lunges on the [...]
On the way home from buying a new mattress Sunday (rest in peace old plank, hubby and I and our twinging backs will not miss you), the girls were giddy with late afternoon errand running tiredness and the amusement of pouncing on mattress after mattress after mattress.
