You guys, going from no cardio to trying to run a little bit is killing me.  My cardio is horrible and while it may be improving each time I run, it's in teeny-tiny increments that are barely no...

This is the sealer I chose - it great reviews and was supposed to be odorless.  I figured that was good enough since I really had no idea what to expect.  For a chemical sealant, I have to s...

Let's talk projects.  Being around the house so much, I keep finding things that I'd like to do but can't because I'm not going to stores for unnecessary items.  Truth be told I'm not going ins...

I haven't worn a bra in days.  Except when we go for a walk; I'm suited up to face anyone for that (from six feet away, of course). We were hungry and decided to cook dinner.  Looked at the cl...
