'Tis two bottles of Mustela Hydra-Bebe body lotion, delivered via the USPS, for Miss Norah. Not from the Haslips, I presume.

Can I pretend it is from me? Why do you like it so?

The gift giver has been identified! The company emailed me the sender's info and it is. . . Julianne! (But we can still pretend it was Suzie.)

What is it and what makes it a must have? Did I harm my first born by not using it? :)

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that.

She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
