I have pulled a stomach muscle. This despite never exercising. And why is it getting worse? Apparently because I don't exercise. Who knew? I thought people only ( Read more... )

I think I would be better on Prozac.

I told Dan about my recent drunken transgressions. He took it rather well, though to make sure, I cancelled my spring break plans and headed to Nashville to cuddle and reaffirm how much I care for him ( Read more... )
