Happy birthday to Laura!!! Hope you have a fun day, friend!
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Happy Birthday Laura!

Our wings are not tired.
Thank you! I'm working on it being a relaxing day. In best news, my MIL is going to be staying with SIL for now until she goes to her own home. My turn is up. Love the woman, but she is exhausting.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy birthday, Laura!

Thank you everyone. Family came over and we are watching yesterday's hockey game before going back to the pool. The bunch of them went to the beach earlier, but I was relaxing on the balcony instead.
eta: we didn't tell MIL who won

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy birthday, Laura!
