I’m not going to lie, yesterDAY stunk! Sunday night I set my cell phone alarms for 6AM and 6:10AM as I had an 8AM appointment with my chiropractor in DC. At 7AM I was startled awake by Neal’s alarm, completely unaware as to whether or not my alarms had actually gone off. Panicked by the…
Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful day for baseball.

This was my first year since I was 12 years old that I didn’t go Black Friday shopping at 4AM. It was a little weird and definitely reaffirmed my love for the crazy morning of shopping, drinking coffee, eating breakfast with my friends/family, and then napping my early afternoon away. Yesterday morning, Neal and I…
