Anatomy of my Fantasy Football Team

I like football.  No, I LOVE football.  Fall = football and this first fall-feeling weekend happened to coincide with the first week of NFL.  I’m an Ohio State fan and a Steelers fan, but I have to admit to liking NFL more than college.  I’ve 

Anniversary gifting – or not?

On our way home from an exciting Friday night date that consisted of stopping at Tj Maxx and CVS on the way home from work, getting home and realizing the cashier didn’t give Lo his ID back (from buying sinus pills), returning to the CVS 

Workouts: August 29 – Sept 4

I had some rough workouts this week and by Thursday night I was feeling a little burned out.  Lo’s volleyball team could have used a sub and even on a bad night I would have been helpful in that league, but I didn’t think I
