Easy Fast Dinner
My quest to lose those 10, (oops I mean 15 lbs) begins today! I signed up for a “Cardio Dance” class with my friend Andrea, which begins tonight.

I worked in a department store with a lady named Esther, she was a typical New Yorker (at least in my mind), she told you exactly what she thought, she didn’t mince words, I loved her dearly, if she’s still around she’s probably 90.
