by JULIA
Before Just Do It Had Been Done Part II Our routine was pretty much the same throughout the two weeks I was in Florida.

We all remember that oh so delicious candy back in the day. That chewy, chocolate, candy that comes to mind every time I pass a convenience store; with songs after it and all – Tootsie Roll.
