It's my birthday on Dec 12. I will be spending it alone because everyone is always busy in December and because My Knight isn't here this year. AND I HATE IT. So there's that. 😦 It's also Ellie's birthday on Dec 12. Surprised? You shouldn't be, I did that on purpose so I didn't have … Continue reading Ten things about this week …
