  • Do you ever do this? You are walking somewhere and you come to a narrow space (like between a chair and a wall) that you need to try and fit through. Sometimes you have to ask the person to move the chair forward so you and your big a** can squeeze by. And sometimes, there is just enough space for you to slither past? I'm always a…

    We all know that summer is coming to an end - except The Princess. She still wants to go to the beach.She asked, over and over, this past summer if we could go to the beach.
