The vibe at my house on Christmas Eve.

I really do enjoy this series. Remind me to tell about the way I set up the mini-campaign.

Thanks, Dame! You're a true lady.

Two of my favorites! I own the first one.

That's why it's important: it's a boost for the giant, too!

*pats your head with my fingertip*

That is excellent!

Naturally!

All the great people are born in July! (Mine is 7/26)

Happy belated birthday, GG!

Thank you for boosting this!

Well, I know Vicki, Chibiana, and Iva. It took me a moment to get Jitensha - I recognized the dress and I put two and two together.

Thank you! I could name all of them without looking at your follow-up posts except that one!

Who is the gymnast in the library?

Because my nurturing time taught me that the folks who should love me the most never gave love without expecting something in return. And that sucks! Why now? Why when my friend is potentially dying am I in my greatest narcissistic revelation? Rhetorical, I assure you.

I have realized that I have been doing my daughter a massive disservice because I have referred to her as a challenge for years and I needed to call her what she is: a gift. The greatest gift I ever got: someone who loves me unconditionally. I'm very bad at loving people back. 2/
