thank you for these, as always, darling! a quick caveat: this is purelyyyy my personal opinion! NO ORDER WHATSOEVER. i had a difficult enough time narrowing to five.

meet me in st. louis

little women (1994)

sure! if you had asked me a decade ago, the answer would've been singular. teaching has expanded my horizons in wild ways, both mundane and noteworhy.

jeopardy | i adore trivia a ridiculous amount and have a fairly insane collection of random information - particularly related to pop culture, history, linguistics, and language - in my brain

uno | i play this all the time with my students; i also bought the clueless anniversary deck a few months ago

five crowns | this has become a family tradition on holidays, special occasions, or long weekends; i once lost with a score of 250, but i did win with a score of 37 on my thirty-seventh birthday! BALANCE IS KEY

LEFT - RIGHT - CENTER | the closest to gambling i will ever come! see above re: family tradition

thank you again, lovely! as always, no order to be found here!

the fact that i find this dress so incredibly gorgeous may've contributed to my crafting my magnum opus for her and ted. ONE CAN'T LOOK THIS STUPENDOUS AND END UP DEVASTATED. | let me hold your crown, babe: an epic saga can be found HERE!

i very much appreciate this somewhat random question so thank you for inquiring! to provide a bit of extra context, for someone who doesn't walk at all - i have cerebral palsy and have used a motorized wheelchair since the age of two and a half - i adore shoes an inordinate amount! accordingly, i only buy or request footwear i love, so there's no order whatsoever to the following:

everyday: black vans with white roses down the sides

newest: powder blue, daisy-printed liberty london x adidas sambaes [my sister got them for me for christmas after hours of scouring the interwebs because they were sold out almost everywhere. do i have any idea where she actually purchased them? nope!]

preppiest: white air force ones with a ballet pink swoosh

most detailed: converse low tops i designed myself; ballet pink background fabric with embroidered suns, black racing stripes around the bottom, and a heart in the front corner of the right shoe

most useful in this moment, while also maintaining style: low top toffee uggs [MID-ATLANTIC DEEP FREEZES ARE NO JOKE, FRIENDSSSS]

some of these are pastry adjacent as well as remarkably similar to one another. i do what i want!

pillsbury crescent rolls

pain au chocolat

kings' hawaiian rolls

trader joes chiabatta bread

thank you this, darling! i'm not much of an outdoor person, so please forgive if these seem like the most mundane offerings ever!

snowflakes -- each and every one is different!

manatees - they're basically the sloths of the sea!

rainbows - they're circles, in actuality!

turtles - their shells are entirely unique to each individual!
