I know I’m a #parent now because the Children’s Orchard (Amesbury) 50 cent sale is now my #SuperBowl.

I am so sick of parking a million miles away from people to avoid jerks and then walking back out to find yet another jerk parked INCHES from my car.

I just had a #realization today: I am exactly like #PoohBear. I only exercise to improve my appetite. Also, I remain “stout” no matter what. Oh, bother.
