This morning my dear husband says to me, “Wow, it really looks like you’ve lost a little bit of ton-age!”
While I appreciate his noticing that I fit in my jeans a little better now, I’m not sure I like his use of a word that describes ELEPHANTS and TRUCKS.

Men! The other day I was commented to Trent on how the “pooch” on my tummy was disappearing (thanks to a much healthier diet and forcing myself to climb on a treadmill a couple of times a week). He says to me “Looks great!” Slapped at one of my thighs…”These will look great, too, soon!” He didn’t mean it to be a butt and was trying to encouraging…But it left me going, “huh”?
