A blog is like fat camp

07.14.2010

FYI, this is a totally random post. But whatevs… I just caught up with the 2nd episode of Huge, and I actually am kind of enjoying it.  I have literally been there, at fat camp, at those kids ages. Although, my fat camp was WAY more posh than theirs. No cabins and mini trampolines for [...]
