Raise the Roof Weekend Recap
Hello and welcome to the first Monday of August, the year of our Lord, Two Thousand and Twenty Five. When did we stop saying such medieval sayings? I rather like sounding fancy pants. Also, what exactly are fancy pants? *Consults the ever reliable innerwebs* Merriam Webster literally says "overly elegant or refined : la-di-da" It says la-di-da! 😆 Did you also know it's hyphenated? Fancy-pants. The first known use was in 1939. Aaaand, still no one can tell me what said pants were so fancy back in the day that they were associated as being so elegant. Oh when I go down a rabbit hole I'm bringing you with me, my friend! Anyhoo, so you know the show de la chit we were dealing with last week. After the window dude spotted the caulking issue and patched it up, we were relieved.

I've done so many. They all work for while, even the sweat suit, but they are difficult to maintain and often you lose water weight and maybe muscle. Healthy habits are the way to go but if you were put on one of these fad diets in elementary school, as I was, you learn bad habits that haunt you your whole life. I've learned that any system that requires you to pay money or join a membership to learn its 'secrets' is probably a scam to make money for someone else and is unlikely to help me change lifelong habits.
