That was so 2014! Sprawl is out, dense, urban living is in, silly rabbits, and Tysons is poised. Why yes, that's...

I didn't know THAT!: Always An X, Never A Y
http://southlakesmom.blogspot.com/2014/04/always-x-never-y.html
I didn't know THAT! Tuesday, April 8, 2014. Always An X, Never A Y. Do you know that expression? Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. What else does it apply to? Today on my errands, I realized another iteration of it is true. ALWAYS A HEADWIND, NEVER A TAILWIND! Yesterday was miserably rainy all day so I stayed inside and did laundry. Today I made up for it by doing all my errands by bike. It was only 15 miles round trip but felt like twice that because of the blasted headwind! April 8, 2014 at 5:16 PM.
