Grouchy Tuesday Tally
Well, I’ve officially hit a plateau in my weight loss journey, and it’s frustrating. This is the third week I’ve been stuck at the same weight.

Fireworks for Independence Day
Neighbors all around me had illegal fireworks. It made it easy getting to watch them. We didn’t have to drive to the show and deal with traffic. We just sat on our back patio and watched them all around. My kid loved it. She sat in my lap for most the night watching them. She… Continue reading
