Watch
I don’t know how it started but before I knew it, I had spent almost two hours watching all these footages of military family reunions. And I just kept crying and crying.

This is the kinda song that you need to listen to on a breezy night with the stereo turned on loud and a glass of red in your hand, feeling all good about yourself.

The perfect time-waster for fontaholics. Don’t say I didn’t warn you: it’s addictive.
So we all know I’m turning 30 this year. Guess who’s still a woman-child who delights in toys?
No. Not THAT kind. Get your dirty mind out of the gutter!
But seriously, I found more pleasure shopping at Toys R Us today, rather than at the department store. In my defense, none of the clothes were “speaking” to me. Some stood out, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy yet another so-so top (though I wouldn’t mind updating my wardrobe). And the shoes all looked one and the same. Shocking? I know!
Anyway, after a lovely wander around Toys R Us with an old chum and her highly adorable and hilarious kids, I walked away with this:
That’s $113 worth of toys. Only possible because I earn my own keep now. Heh.
