It’s been a rough week y’all. Very rough. I’m trying to hold it together. Thankfully today two things have put a smile on my face. One, I have been really checking things off my summer to-do list.

Things that make me smile: The Power ofMe
Quick, positive post. Yesterday, I ran 3 miles in an obstacle run called Lozilu (see pre-mud photo below) In the evening, I did a pole dancing class for a friend’s birthday.

I’m over Clyde’s Crab Cakes (I tried y’all. I really did.)
Quick and random post here. You native Howard Countians may be mad at me for saying this but I ain’t about that Clyde’s life anymore. Yesterday, my mother-in-love treated my daughter and I to the new and improved Clyde’s. Now this is about the third time I’ve been there. Each time I visit I order … Continue reading
