Indie FTWMy sister just had her first day alone with the new baby… and Indie broke her within one hour. Yikes. I feel really bad that I can’t do anything to help. At the same time, though, I’m really grateful that she’s giving us the warts-and-all look at life with a newborn. (Which reminds me,…

Eleven. Eleven days of rain in a row. I woke up at 6am this morning to go out for my run… and heard the rain pouring down outside the window. Ugh. I just couldn’t do it.
