Wow. That's amazing.
Vanity. So I got gussied up for a Christmas Eve eve party today.
Mischievous comes at a wee age, it's intentional emotional manipulation that doesn't come until later.
Today was fine, but more stressful than it needed to be. Oy! And I exercised this morning and now I need a long soak in a hot bath. My muscles ache.
