Reading Update
Sidney Crosby (3rd Edition) by J Alexander Poulton. While the writing in this book verged on painful at time, there were definitely tidbits in it that I hadn’t read anywhere else.
“No, I won’t look at you. If I look at you, you’re going to take my pictu… MOM!!! Stop that!” -Chaos
Boo, I am sure Luci loves me, I am the only one he drool kneads
So many great things in this linkity! (I followed the awesome sword erasers down the rabbit hole and found hippo bookmarks.) Not least of which, of course, is Chaos’ marvelous indignant outburst. Sorry, Chaos, she’s never stopping.
Aw, I love that you are using your Dad’s High School stencils in your journalling.
I might consider one of those minimalist cat tattoos. If I ever got a tattoo, which I doubt.
