We haven’t had Honest Tuesday here in a while and it’s about time. There’s been some stuff going on that I haven’t wanted to mention on here (although several of you have noticed and e-mailed me about it for which I am very grateful for your concern) until I knew what exactly I was dealing …
There’s a grunter in my Spin class. There’s also a loud iPod singer on the track, a yeller on the weight floor, a toilet-seat sprayer in the bathroom, a gaseous runner on the treadmill, a beanie baby collector in my yoga class (who actually sets her collection up around her mat) and the girl who …
