I&#8217;m guessing they&#8217;re either very close to their sibling and call them all time, or they don&#8217;t have much of a sense of humor. In any case, here&#8217;s some more secrets about her. Well, I&#8217;m even exaggerating more than I usually do, because it&#8217;s no secret that she has a sweet tooth. And my brother-in-law only likes things made of chocolate. So that means she eats EVERYTHING HERSELF. And she&#8217;s tiny. Well, she runs a lot (and I mean a lot) so she burns it all off, but does she share those desserts with her brother across town? (7.9 miles by google maps, about 16 minutes) Not at all.<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ve been losing some weight. It&#8217;s pretty simple: I started taking public transportation and walking 20-25 minutes, each way, to the light rail station. I think I&#8217;ve decided to drive more often, even though it&#8217;s working well for me, because I can do the whole commute in ~35 minutes and I can spend more time at work that way. The more time I spend at work, the less time I have to spend working at home, even though it&#8217;s easier working at home than in the lab at work. It&#8217;s so comfortable to work on the computer in your underwear, and they kind of frown on that at Megacorp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was told last week by someone that they would call their sister and tell her before they wrote about her in a public forum.
