Jeff: Today is the day I make chili. Italian Sausage Esquire Magazine Chili. The only ingredient we need is meat. Me: Wouldn’t it be weird if we used Sidney? Jeff: Yeah. That would be weird.

I almost forgot to post something! Hey there! HERE IS THE BREAKDOWN OF MY DAY: (This is the perfect time for you to go somewhere else. May I suggest a trip over here?) My mom came over, we went to Starbucks, and then we cleaned the girls’ room and decorated it for the holidays. Winter [...]
