  • Aspiring

    What a weekend. There’s no way I could feel idle with all I managed, but somehow I had time to act like a slug. I read quite a bit, slept a little later, watched my guilty pleasures on Saturday morning (I’m an HGTV junkie), and enjoyed every minute. But I managed to vacuum, dust, clean…
