what was the name of that song?

Just a couple of quick notes for a Friday.

For those of you who demand closure, the milk carton has been delivered.

Thank you, Baba, for playing along.

But whatever conglomerate of Wisconsin dairy farmers established the joint think it's a good idea to serve the mac & cheese with a side of yogurt. So we got an extra fruit cup.

We wanted to help restore her faith in Christmas at least for one more year.  Enter: American Girl Doll Now, here is where the magic collides with reality. Yuki first  encountered  American Girl Doll in kindergarten when a few of her friends talked about theirs. When she first mentioned it I had a physical reaction to almost vomit. It was one of those "Disney Princess," "Barbie," and other things that the girls are supposed to get interested in that I dreaded. I don't have any problems with the...
