It’s probably just laundry day. Or the Lady Gaga* tribute subway car. I’m gross. We’ve established that many, many, times on this blog. I didn’t start out this way – truly, ask the Gym Hubby how I used to have to make our bed every night before I could get in it – but having …

Orange Velvet Suit Man at the Twin’s baseball game the other night: I salute you. Not many people would go to a ball game decked head to toe in a bright orange velvet zoot suit with matching orange fedora. I love that about you! And I don’t even know you! Ignore the frat boys calling …
What are you going to be for Halloween this year? I know, I know we’re still more than a month out but I’ve got the annual Turboween coming up! It may possibly be my most favorite Turbo workout of the year. This year the theme is “Superheroes” and while my house is replete with capes …
