Dad’s Day: Just Another Day
My husband’s Father’s Day was rather uneventful. That’s what happens when you’re broke. That damned airfare really messed with our finances. I’m not used to purchasing for 3 people. Anyways, we ended up at In N Out. The entire meal was more mediocre than usual. I had what was supposed to be a chocolate milkshake. Continue reading
