3 hours on the phone?
I wish. My loved ones are serious talkers. And is’t it messed up how it takes 2 months to get easter weight off, then here in the states, we have fourth of july barbecues and then by the time you get that off, it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.
We might as well just stay fat.
Terrific article, Sotiris
