Where do you belong?

Call me crazy, but in my limited free time, I volunteer. That’s right, no bonbons on the sofa for me during half-time. Most people (including my hubby) think I’m crazy because in a city like New York, people can barely find the time to do their laundry and here I am up late at night…volunteering….
