Giant rubber bands around my legs!

Today was casual day for work, so this means I’m dressing lot I used to at my old job.  Jeans, t-shirt and non-dress shoes.  Since I’ve lost the 12lbs and quite a bit around my waist I think that most any pair of jeans I have will fit since my 2 favorite pair are in [...]

Death

Yeah an ominous word to lead with, but something I’ve been dealing with the past week. My grandfather on my moms side passed away 1 week ago yesterday. It was and it wasn’t un-expected.  It had been forever since I had been to a funeral…and I hope it’s a long time before I [...]

Geico…
