I need to note, the quilt on the floor in the first toddler picture of me? My grandmother (in the HS pic) made it for me when I was born. It's on the cabinet enclosure in front of the windows in my bedroom.

Going through the pix in flickr to find those, I also found pictures of the leather angels my Aunt Carol made. It was a moment of pause. She's dead. I saw her one last time, and it was perfect. And this year, I'll put up my tree from Taylor and family and hang my aunt's leather angels on that tree and cry a little. And be grateful.

HA! But Jesse, the CD packaging is cotton candy scented! Irresistible!

WHAT? That is both amusing and kinda ick.

I find Katy Perry baffling. She tries so hard to be zany and kittenish and whimsical, and it's grating. Mostly because I kind of doubt that is her own personality and aesthetic.

30 year gap of nose. Not much happened. At least I got taller and grew boobs, otherwise...how boring.

why are we obsessing over noses?

ita, your nose is perfect. Perhaps it's not that you have a child's nose, but as a child you had perfected the nose and didn't need to change or adapt.

Also, I agree with bon bon on the crazy part.

You're saying I was a nose prodigy. Which means this is probably just standard gifted-nose letdown. I can deal with that.

And now my massive shiny red lips will destroy your city and kill your loved ones.

Aw... feeling better then? And yet, not any less crazy.

HA!

ok hivemind, anyone here use Scentsy? like it? hate it?

That reminds me--I have a pint of HD Five Lemon ice cream in the freezer!

You finally got some??? Hooray!
