I haven't been taking my allocated RDOs as they've accrued for the last few months, which I swore I would do this year... and have been getting majorly stressed out at work. I was saving them to see my nephew a bit when he was born but it was becoming clear that there would never be a great time to go visit for two nights so I went overnight this ( Read more... )

We had a soccer comp at work this week. Soccer is the only team sport I will play so that was convenient. We bought t-shirts and put our names on them; I got my dad to teach me some moves.

People Who Call Themselves Vegetarian But Eat Fish
