Our Strength Workouts for the Coming Month
source First off, a very happy birthday to my bestie! Once again, I am in awe of what a beautiful, giving, patient friend you are. I don't know how I got so lucky to have you in my life but I'll take it! Wishing you an evening sans bra in front of the tube, enjoying your gifts and knowing you're loved! 🎂🎁 *** Note: I am sharing what our routine will be, this isn't suggesting you do it.

When the priest blessed our throats in church, we were told that if we swore we would lose our voice. No talking while fishing or you will scare the fish away. If you get bit by a bat you will get shots with a 1 foot needle.(I'm terrified of bats to this day!)

It really wasn't until the internet age when we could easily fact check him that we realized he was just a good bullshitter.
