please please please

ANONYMOUSLY MESSAGE ME ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL ME BEFORE 2025 ENDS.

I think thats pretty cool! Is it like a curator job or do you do guides?

I'm SO telling Mom you think she'd be the bad cop. You're not wrong, she definitely would, but I'm also going to take it entirely out of context to prove to her that you still like me better, and you can't stop me.

She'd take it as the compliment it is!!! I do like you better though (please dont tell her that) because you're my best friend. It'd be a little weird if I liked your mom more than you... well maybe not, considering how much food she feets me, but - you know what I mean.

It's like looking into the future at what I'll be like in twenty years, if I was a dog and also only a foot tall.

You totally should, Stace. 10/10 do recommend. And if you don't get one for yourself, bully someone else into getting one and mooch off of them.

But how would you lose the eye?

I might be a little too everywhere to get a pet, maybe i'll bully Nicky into another one... OH!!! Or Stevie.

I kind of enjoy those cryptic quotes, but I appreciate the promise my dude.

I'm Stacey, welcome welcome!!! What brings you to this part of the land?

...I have a powerful need for that turtle sticker now. AND a gold star. Motivation unlocked.

I'm not scary! Not as long as they treat you like a queen and make a decent living and have honorable intentions and communicate all of that effectively without ulterior motives or ego! That's not even asking that much, imho.

You're so cute Nicky. I expect you to have a name for him if/when you get him.

Uh.... You and your mama could be scary I think! Like you'd be the good cop, and she'd be the bad cop, but still - SCARY.

OMG do I get a gold star sticker for my efforts too??

Hey now, if you think I'm gonna grill anyone who's clearly not good enough for you, Mom will put me TO SHAME. You've not lived until you've faced the full judgment of a Mexican mother bear protecting her cubs.

Impress me and we'll see. If you dont get a gold star, you'll as least get one of these guys

...... So note to self. Dont let you OR mama Duval know about any parters bc you guys might scare them off. Rip to them, they'll miss out on the most wonderful fest of the year.

Duh. I already have a sheet of gold star stickers ready and waiting. I am also very motivated by gold star stickers, lest you forget.

Oh, I know she loves you more than she loves me, she's not even subtle about it anymore. And she will be very focused on feeding you, so brace yourself well in advance.

Good. Very good. I know you are Nicky-Poo. Why do you think I'm trying to get you to make this powerpoint so good??

I cant wait for like 10 years from now when I bring a SO around and she interrogates them - since i feel like she'd do that. I'll prepare well in advance, dont worry Nicky. I dont mess around when it comes to tamale fest.

I am SO proud. It brings a tear to my eye. Gold star sticker for you, Stacíta.

I expect a gold star the next time I see you. I want it big enough that it can go on my phone case so that I can bask in your praise.

It's in my calendar, in caps, with 5 different reminders because I refuse to miss it.

.... I think your mom loves me more than you sometimes, and I wont lie, it makes me giggle and happy. HOWEVER. I will be bringing something considering I plan on gaining like 10lbs from all the food i'm going to eat.
