Just gonna repost it here.As an adult, I would not want anyone forcing me to share my clothes, food, furniture, or electronics.

So as Christmas rolled around ... this gig called "VIPkid" was taking off.

I even managed to sneak in some Black Friday shopping.

I always enjoyed St. Patrick's Day growing up ... well, not the pinching part. But since I was nearly half Irish, and the Irish didn't fare too well in most of history, it was a fun way to celebrate a part of my history. I don't have red hair, too much German in me for that, but most of my family still sports the freckled arms.
Here is what we are doing for the day!
