It Manifests Elsewhere

On Saturday I treated myself to a prenatal massage and a facial. This was actually my third prenatal massage so far. It helps that I am a member of Massage Envy and didn’t have time to use any pre-paid massages for all of September, October, November and then felt like …

Bizzee

This week is shaping up to be very busy. There’s something about looking at your calendar and seeing almost every block of it scheduled that is a little overwhelming. So posting is going to be sparse for a few days, but I’ll be back with an update on Friday.  I’ve …
