I don’t want to talk about the fact that Jennifer Lopez’s twins are 18 now, or that slip dresses are back in fashion. We’ve (I’ve) previously lamented my tenuous grasp on the concept of time. You can talk about it, though. - (Lainey Gossip)

Mike and I are swapping nights this week because of the snow. Those of you who are snowed in - I hope you have warm blankets, hot chocolate (or warm beverage of your choosing), and a fluffy buddy! Take care and I’ll see you Sunday.
