Bloggers Block is a Beeyoch

The story I’m about to tell you belongs on the Maury Povich show. Or 60 minutes where they do the “I survived” stories. Actually, a combination of the 2 shows.

My own personal hell

I detest working out Exercise of any kind really. Except Hockey, which isn’t super easy to play down here in the sauna south. Husband was a personal trainer in college. He thinks that gives him permission, nay, the right, to holler at me like a drill sergeant and MAKE me work out. I hate it.…
