Great Wall, Pandas, and Mcdonald's

I hit another milestone tomorrow. As you get older, you don't want as much. That creates a problem for people who want to buy you a gift. I really can't think of anything. I liked Funko Pops.

It will cause problems for Carnival, though. These people also tend to have a Karen streak. They really look down on "the help...

My daugher is really getting into pop music. I walked in last night and she was singing Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson. Of course, she had her own lyrics. I wish I could remember but it was definetly memborable. Then we go Whitney Houston. She finished with Ooops I did it Again by Britney Spears. She sang Boops I Did it Again! It's a word she likes to say. Essential Britney Spears Buy Now
