It’s finally Spring in Minnesota, and everyone’s coming out of hibernation, excited to wear something lighter than a parka. Winter of 2012-2013 was a lot longer than usual, and mine packed in a decent amount of life-induced stress and frenzy. My scale told me what the waistline on my pants were agreeing with.
