Where's Charlie Been? 1 May 2012 | 08:23 am

I know I've been quiet lately. Just laying low. Not much to talk about on the diet front or the baby front. Just maintaining my weight loss (give or take a few pounds) and waiting for the next period ...

Charlie, the Progress Pictures, and the Parking Lot Syndrome 4 Dec 2011 | 08:11 am
