I’m personally not a huge fan of Mondays. While I do appreciate a chance to start fresh each week, after a crazy weekend, I usually haven’t re-gathered myself into a functional human until Tuesday. However, I meet with an awesome group of ladies every Monday and it’s the highlight of my day (and such an […]
Confession time. While on vacation, the closest things to a vegetable that I ate were pickles, coleslaw and the teeny tiny chunks of tomato and lettuce on my tacos.
