I filed my first police report this afternoon.
My purse is missing in action. I know where I last had it (on the floor next to my chair) and that we came straight home. We’ve not been anywhere else since then. Unless it’s donned camouflage (have stranger things happened?), it’s not in the house. We called [...]

A few weeks ago, I read a book called Such a Pretty Fat by Jen Lancaster.
In the book, she takes up lap swimming for exercise. Reading about her love of swimming reminded me of how much I’ve always loved swimming. After doing some research, I learned that the county we live in has several indoor [...]
