Ledoux67 (7:35:46 AM): What time does he go in there??
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:36:10 AM): This morning 9 am, I think. If it was 8 he'd be gone already.
Ledoux67 (7:36:51 AM): Brian just came in

Ledoux67 (7:38:31 AM): thank you. I am after all an educator.

Ledoux67 (7:39:30 AM): hahaha no
Ledoux67 (7:39:48 AM): Brian has a big cut on his calf.
Ledoux67 (7:40:00 AM): I don't remember THAT happening.
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:40:09 AM): Does he???
Ledoux67 (7:40:32 AM): "Unfortunately yes."
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:40:43 AM): from last night??
Ledoux67 (7:41:11 AM): He says when he got out of the water last night he cut it on the dock
Ledoux67 (7:41:31 AM): and in answer to your question, yes of course skinny dipping
Ledoux67 (7:41:51 AM): that was the only thing that kept us warm, was each other. COLLLLLLD in that water.
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:42:06 AM): i could've told you THAT
Ledoux67 (7:42:33 AM): Brian is reading over my shoulder but making ME type....
Ledoux67 (7:42:52 AM): "Actually the water wasn't that bad... it was the cold air that was bad."
Ledoux67 (7:43:00 AM): he's right again.
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:43:09 AM): lol same as always
Ledoux67 (7:43:19 AM): ok....
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:43:28 AM): what???
Ledoux67 (7:43:58 AM): well, up close it's not THAT bad a cut... just looked kind of nasty because he just took a shower and rubbed it open I guess
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:44:10 AM): Brian took a shower up there????
Ledoux67 (7:44:19 AM): Yeah... will wonders cease?
Ledoux67 (7:44:33 AM): I guess he thinks we're going into town or something.
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:44:42 AM): lol
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:44:48 AM): brb
Ledoux67 (7:47:35 AM): "Tall and tan and young and lovelyyyy..."

christyswims@yahoo.com (7:54:19 AM): hello????
Ledoux67 (7:54:42 AM): haha... i'm here... i ran to get another muffin. that's three now!
Ledoux67 (7:54:50 AM): so good!
Ledoux67 (7:55:20 AM): and JESUS! Brian must of put a whole stick of butter on his.
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:56:22 AM): marty is up, he has to be in at 8:30 and is rushing all over the place
Ledoux67 (7:56:42 AM): Stay out of his way!
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:56:59 AM): believe me, I learned THAT lesson when we were engaged.
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:57:27 AM): just hope he doesn't draw Maggie out, that is the big wild card when he's trying to get going, she gets up and wants his attention.
Ledoux67 (7:57:58 AM): yeah, that was how becca was.
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:58:17 AM): brb again
christyswims@yahoo.com (7:58:31 AM): pick a different song this time lol
Ledoux67 (7:59:26 AM): well up here...
Ledoux67 (7:59:53 AM): Becca is up and she and her grandpa are down shooting hoops already.
Ledoux67 (8:00:18 AM): She's got a mean hookshot and fadeaway jumper Christy!
Ledoux67 (8:01:04 AM): I was kind of surprised that she wanted to play little league this spring because she never really expressed any interest...
Ledoux67 (8:01:17 AM): maybe she'll start playing hoops too.
Ledoux67 (8:01:42 AM): And mom has the effin' radio turned up TOO LOUD. Some French shit, lmaaao.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:02:10 AM): lol, wouldn't that be called merde??
Ledoux67 (8:02:19 AM): I guess.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:02:48 AM): Marty took off, I offered to make him scrambed eggs and he said "no, I'll just stop at sheetz and get a shmuffin"
Ledoux67 (8:03:00 AM): Ewwwww. God.
Ledoux67 (8:03:15 AM): I think I just puked in my mouth a little when I read that.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:03:46 AM): lol well I think i puked a little in my mouth when he SAID it.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:04:18 AM): But he says he's gotta get going, he's in a rush, yadayadayada
Ledoux67 (8:05:46 AM): It would take him as much OR LESS time to have you MAKE him something than it would for him to stop in there and grab it on the fly, PLUS it'll be better
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:05:51 AM): I told him that it'd take just as much time for me to make him something as it would for him to stop, but the whole issue is that he's gotta RUSH so I didn't argue, go on ahead, have a shmuffin, see if I care.
Ledoux67 (8:06:06 AM): WE CROSSED!!!
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:06:26 AM): lol
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:06:51 AM): it's like i said to kath....
Ledoux67 (8:07:22 AM): ......
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:07:44 AM): these are the kind of arguments I have with MAGGIE, I'm not going to waste my energy arguing about it with HIM.
Ledoux67 (8:08:13 AM): Haha
Ledoux67 (8:09:16 AM): Well like you said, the whole point is that he feels like he's gotta rush and if he lets you take five minutes to whoop him up some scrambles then that countermands the whole I AM IN TOO MUCH OF A HURRY TO SIT AND HAVE BREAKFAST thing.
Ledoux67 (8:09:36 AM): Brian agrees by the way.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:09:40 AM): Yeah.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:09:47 AM): THanks Brian.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:10:04 AM): Cross!!
Ledoux67 (8:10:06 AM): CROSS
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:10:51 AM): Well you know he DOESN'T have time to sit and have breakfast but he doesn't have time to stop at a crowded sheetz during rush hour either, either way he'll be late so why not have something GOOD.
Ledoux67 (8:11:28 AM): He probably won't stop at all.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:12:29 AM): No you're right, he definitely won't, he's just saying that so he can get out of the house. LIKE I'M GOING TO SCOLD HIM AND SAY "YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT HAVING BREAKFAST!!!" Why can't he just say "I'm running late, I'll just skip breakfast."
Ledoux67 (8:12:41 AM): Who knows? F him
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:12:47 AM): lol
Ledoux67 (8:13:07 AM): HE'S the one who's gonna be hungry... don't worry about it.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:13:54 AM): yeah I know, I just don't want him to eat junk that's all.
Ledoux67 (8:14:27 AM): Well, maybe he can do like Brian did and have a tiny muffin with a half a stick of butter smeared on it. Jesus...
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:14:41 AM): lol
Ledoux67 (8:14:58 AM): I swear... he just had his daily allotment of dairy.
Ledoux67 (8:15:12 AM): Now mom'll have to go churn more.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:15:24 AM): lol, have Becca do it.
Ledoux67 (8:15:34 AM): Oh yeah...
Ledoux67 (8:15:44 AM): could you see if we had to do THAT????
Ledoux67 (8:15:58 AM): TSK! I DON'T EVEN LIKE STUPID BUTTER.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:16:25 AM): lol
Ledoux67 (8:16:39 AM): She should be saying a prayer of gratitude every morning that we're not AMISH
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:17:06 AM): lol
Ledoux67 (8:17:21 AM): Thank you! You're a wonderful audience!
Ledoux67 (8:17:28 AM): So....
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:17:34 AM): so???
Ledoux67 (8:17:54 AM): When is Todd moving? Where? What's the latest word on that??
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:19:52 AM): Well I talked to Maura last night, and she said Todd's lease starts at the new place on Aug 1, so he's going to START moving things in then. GOing to take his time over the next few weeks getting set up and then by the time the school year starts have his kids move in.
Ledoux67 (8:20:18 AM): Never understood why he had them down there anyway.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:21:05 AM): well the biggie was that his ex was still in Stowe area and he didn't want them to be in the same area as her, but apparently she moved to maine, so that's no problem anymore.
Ledoux67 (8:21:21 AM): You think Maura will move in with him?
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:21:28 AM): No.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:21:35 AM): Not yet.
Ledoux67 (8:21:43 AM): You seem sure.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:22:16 AM): Well I didn't ask and she didn't say but you saw her place, she gets a lot of work done on her photography, that extra bedroom is a darkroom.
Ledoux67 (8:23:04 AM): Rita said she said something to her like "You two could move in together. He could move into your place" and she said "Yeah, but then I'd lose my darkroom."
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:23:25 AM): Probably down the road if they continue to see each other they will get a house.
Ledoux67 (8:23:43 AM): Do you think they wil?
Ledoux67 (8:23:49 AM): L
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:23:55 AM): lol
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:24:40 AM): I don't know, if she wants to probably, he's a nice guy and she loves him, loves his kids, but she's so....
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:25:11 AM): trying to think of words
Ledoux67 (8:25:16 AM): Independent. Yeah.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:25:26 AM): no not independent
Ledoux67 (8:25:42 AM): Maybe not "independent" but...
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:25:48 AM): lol
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:26:21 AM): she just would need to be able to keep doing what she's doing, be autonomous while with him, if they got a place together she wouldn't want to GIVE UP anything.
Ledoux67 (8:26:48 AM): Of course she doesn't HAVE to.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:27:38 AM): no and she wouldn't.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:28:18 AM): but she worries that she would
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:28:23 AM): brb
Ledoux67 (8:28:35 AM): CRIMINY! WHAT NOW???
Ledoux67 (8:29:20 AM): Just wanted to let you know that this SECOND batch of muffins isn't a RAISIN bran... it's a BLUEBERRY bran...
Ledoux67 (8:29:48 AM): There is no butter left in the house, by the way.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:30:32 AM): lol, back, just heard Maggie rocking upstairs and went up to give her a kiss.
Ledoux67 (8:30:46 AM): how is her rocking at night?
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:31:38 AM): better, she is ok, the weekend seems to calm her down because then we are all together.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:32:08 AM): and blueberry bran sounds good, I am so hungry
Ledoux67 (8:32:31 AM): Well woman, you offered to make MARTY scrambles, why don't you make yourself some???
Ledoux67 (8:32:40 AM): You did SWIM this morning.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:32:58 AM): I had some yogurt, we'll be walking to the bakery here in a little bit.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:33:13 AM): I'll get a couple sticks of butter there and I'll be fine, lol
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:33:31 AM): I'm going to get her ready and going.
Ledoux67 (8:33:44 AM): OK.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:33:54 AM): Talk later??
Ledoux67 (8:34:18 AM): Yeah, I'll call during her naptime this afternoon and we can chat. OR we can do this again, up to you.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:34:35 AM): Whichever is fine with me. This costs you less.
Ledoux67 (8:34:49 AM): I don't care about that.
Ledoux67 (8:35:03 AM): I'll call.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:35:05 AM): Then call.
Ledoux67 (8:35:15 AM): CROSS
Ledoux67 (8:35:24 AM): I think.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:35:37 AM): lol I can't even tell anymore.
christyswims@yahoo.com (8:35:51 AM): OK, so I'm gonna get Maggie moving. Enjoy the morning guys!
Ledoux67 (8:36:01 AM): You too!
Ledoux67 (8:36:20 AM): Becca is in and says HI and "Say HI to Maggie for me!"

Re: Six F bombs

From:
To: Maura (mauraswimgrrrl@yahoo.com)
Date: Thursday, July 17, 2008 8:37 AM
Subject: Re: Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck


Well, first of all, as Margo told my brother one evening, if you need a jump that bad, go play checkers


Mauramodel, not to make light of your pain and angst about work, but really, that has to be one of the best subject lines I've ever received. And yet it WASN'T FLAGGED!!!! Congratulations! If six f-bombs don't get stopped by Da Yahoo Copz, what WILL??? THat's MY question.

Anyway, sorry to make fun... I know you like working there except for dealing with her ditzballiness. It's like I said about Frank all the time: Dingdong might own the place, and she might take care of and CONTROL certain things, manage certain things (stock, menu, etc) but that doesn't mean she knows how to MANAGE PEOPLE, which is a big difference. But I don't get the whole "keeping you and Todd apart." This isn't ROMEO AND JULIET, Maura. Do you really think that's what's going on? Unless... someone else at the resto has her ear and has given her the idea that you two need to be kept apart... unless for reasons of her own that maybe have nothing at all to do with running a professional establishment (that sounds like a euphemism for a whorehouse ) she wants to keep you away from Todd.

As for the giving you a hard time about the one thing you missed when you closed while overlooking all the things you got done, yeah, that's the sign of a bad manager. (Along with being so far behind on the books after a busy season that you have thirty days worth of guest checks and credit card receipts sitting in your office waiting to be reconciled) Not mentioning to employees when they do something RIGHT but only mentioning the stuff they MISS. That used to piss me off when I closed at Frank's too. Always the next day, I could count on his fat greasy goombah face sputtering "You know, you guys gotta stop rushing outta here at night... you left the lights on over the bar." THAT was what made me wanna strangle him. It was never something big like, say, "The back door wasn't locked" or "The alarm wasn't armed" or "THere was cash missing from the till" etc etc etc. No... it was always NITPICKY LITTLE SHIT like "You didn't empty the trash in the bathroom... you didn't turn the dishwasher off... you forgot to put the recycling out." WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST STAY LATE AT "YOUR" RESTAURANT AND PUT THE REFUCKINGCYCLING OUT YOURSELF???!!!!!!????!!!!

And what got me most was, that could have very easily have been negated by him if he'd just NOTICED WHEN I DID GOOD WORK. Like said "Great job handling that rush, Rita" or "Good work getting that bar order out there" or "Thanks for checking the towels in the rest room" or "Thanks for bussing that bus pan when we got busy out there" or something dumb like that. Noticing things that I DID WITHOUT HIM ASKING ME, that I really didn't NEED to do, that weren't my JOB but I did them because there I was, someone had to do them, etc etc. Instead of telling me the freakin' takeout containers needed restocked. Please.

It's that whole thing that really just makes you feel like "OK, this job obviously means more to ME than I mean to THEM, so now what?" You know? So I really didn't feel all that bad when I left. You didn't know me back then but I barely gave my two weeks. I don't ever just walk out of jobs but it was all I could to not just walk out of that one. And it wasn't any one thing; it was all those little things that you describe that just day after day, week after week, added up, till I didn't care that I was taking home a hunnerd fiddy bucks a night in tips.

And so I quit that job, and I moved to Bawlmore with Tony, and we lived happily ever after, and here I sit, it's not even 8:30 and Dannydan has puked already.

Some kinda bug. He's snoozing away. Margo said she had a touch of something earlier this week and I felt a little gnarly myself yesterday. Wonder if something's going around.

Big heat wave coming and I'm not gonna make it worse for the fella by turning the air off, that's for sure. Nope, it's frosty cold in here. I don't know what it's like outside and I don't CARE. I'm in here. Bwah hahahahahaha...

No work at the warehouse this week. I work an afternoon game on Sunday, then Monday and Wednesday. And I'm working at the cafe tomorrow midday. That should be fun.

I mean that.

See because the cafe is managed the way Frank's and Dingdong's (MAYBE THEY SHOULD OPEN A PLACE TOGETHER!!!!) should have been managed. Or maybe it's just that I'm not there full time and I don't see all the bullshit. I'm not there relying on the hours I get to support myself and my family. I just come in on Friday mornings, maybe a Tuesday or Wednesday morning, and when I show up I'm usually covering for someone who can't make it, so I'm like the cavalry riding over the hills. I'm greeted as a hero. And then, just as the place is starting to get to me and I'm thinking "OK, if I have to whip up ONE MORE frappin' frappe, I think that I may EXPLODE here," guess what? MY SHIFT IS OVER! and I can go home to a puking baby!

ANyhoo... I'm sorry you have to put up with that right now. You talked about finding something else. Are you keeping your eyes opened?

Tony's up. He slept in. I can hear him moving around. Wonder if he has a touch of it.

I'm gonna hit SEND and will call you later. Not working today, you know...

Later sweetie!
Love
Senorita

RIta it pisses me off so much, I just need to vent. I am so fucking tired of working these DEAD WEDNESDAY NIGHTS and TODD DOESN'T WORK WEDNESDAYS, she's just scheduling me when he's not on to "keep us apart" like we're little kids and don't know how to behave when we're together. And I make NO tips Wed (well not NONE but compared to Fri nite which I WON'T be working it's nothing). And then I'm on Sat and Sun. Pisses me the fuck off. Fucking ding dong.

I didn't even have a shift meal, told Ryan to leave a note for Todd that I didn't eat anything and bring me something home tomorrow night. Ryan was cute, he said "don't you like my cooking" and I said "it's not that, sweetie, I just have to get the freak outta here." "Get the freak outta here huh? You mean fuck?" lol

This on top of her giving me a hard time about what WASN'T done that night I closed by myself. Didn't get into all of the stuff about how the drawer was counted down the deposit made, all the doors locked, everything in the resto checked. "There weren't really any linens in the dry sink upstairs by the bar." FUCK YOU!! I've got your fucking linens RIGHT HERE CUNT!!!!

Bitch.

OK, I feel a little better now but now that ranting made me HUNGRY lol.

I wish Todd was here. He's still up in the air re his move but at least come labor day I will know he is nearby and not down there, up here, whereever.

And my feet are so sore, the arches in my left foot killing me. I had a blister on the outside of my left sole from my rollerblades (from my socks actually) and a couple nights ago scratched it open, it was sore and I was walking favoring THAT, and now the OTHER side of my foot hurts. I need a foot massage! HELLLLP!!!!

We are going camping next week and it cannot come soon enough. I need a good jump!

So how are you???

Did you work at all over the all star break??? When are you in next at the cafe??

I almost called tonight but thought it'd be too late, hope your week is going better than mine, sorry to swear at you but I needed to vent and it made me feel better. Hope it did you too, lol xoxoxoxoxox love you maura k

Well, first of all let me say that the picture of the two of them you took last night is SO CUTE! He is a HUNK!! WOW! Give your sister a slap when you see her next time... she is wrong... "DILF" is just too gay a word to describe him. He reminds me of Dennis Wilson circa 1970, seriously. And the two of them together just made me go awwwwwwww. Just all happy and young and Maura is so glowy. So DARK. She tans dark like you. I thought you irish girls were supposed to be all pale and fair and BURN easily.

She looks great except there's a little fleck of blue cheese on her lower lip, lmaaao.

How WERE those burgers anyway? I can't remember if you said in fact you went to the restaurant (or "resto" as Maura says) and had a meal. We did... awesome. Except the night we went Todd wasn't working.

And I'm sure that Maura reviewed this with you but dingdong's name is Jill. I met her. She IS a dingdong. You can tell from the moment you meet her. Flighty. And Maura said SO disorganized, or looks that way, but somehow things get done.

Anyway don't get too carried away with the whole "little Mauras" thing... you know what I mean. As one who pressured Rita and Tony low those many years... except look... now they're married with a baby boy. So never mind... get carried away, lmaaaao. Apparently it WORKS.

So anyway... I got up at 5:30 am and was enjoying the quiet of the house, thought I'd sit in the cool and watch the sun come out but decided to check my email. Which was my big mistake. You know, everyone always says about how great Firefox is, it's so much better than internet explorer, all that, but now this morning is the SIXTH TIME that I've lost ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS AND PASSWORDS on Firefox. I have no idea why it happens. Online I read that it can happen if you shut your computer down without closing firefox but I don't do that. It's really annoying and it happens so often that now I actually know where to click to FIND the old bookmarks and reinstate them. But I could not find my passwords so now every time I go to a site I have to reregister. Fortunately I use the same password for all of them so it's no biggie. But just an annoying pain in the ass, not what I want to do with my quiet time on an early morning in July. And of course I went on to a couple message boards I post on so I could plug my passwords etc in and had to cruise the messages and reply to THOSE. So I ended up wasting all this time. And now it's almost 8 and Brian's up, Becca's up, and all I did was sit on the computer.

It is hazy here and will probably be hot and humid AGAIN today. We didn't get to the lake yesterday (didn't go to the movie either)... just went into town and hung out at mom and dad's. They're going up to Canada this weekend and will probably be there the next three weeks so we wanted to get some time in with them. One reason they are going up now is that the Nationals are out of town the next few weeks and they will only miss one game if they go up now (they have that Sunday season ticket plan). They offered us the tix for this Sunday and we haven't decided if we're going or not. We can't take Becca if we do. It's not like at the old stadium where we all could go with them on the spur of the moment if we wanted to. They have two tickets and that means if Brian and me want to go we need to drop Becca someplace (Dan and Laura's or Danny and Ronnie's or Rita and TOny's... there are options but then she wants to know why she can't go with).

We will probably go anyway though for a couple reasons, the main one being that if Danny and Ronnie take her Sunday they have the pool at their place. And it's Houston, which means I get to go and boo Miguel Tejada, lmaaao.

So we'll see.

Brian's up and wants to make pancakes. Talk about lite fare, lmaaao. Not exactly pancake weather but we have all these fresh strawberries, so I guess he's amped to make strawberry pancakes. So I will let him.

Tell Mauramodel HI and Marty too and kiss Maggie Kay for me... and do whatever you want to do to TODD on my behalf, lmaaao. Like I said, Kathy is wrong. He's not a "dilf." He's too cute and woodsy and earthy to be a dilf.

They look happy and sweet and their eyes all sparkly. I just need to remember how to get the picture over to my laptop.

Have a fun day and we'll talk later, I'm sure. xoxoxoxoxoxo me!!

Hi Margo, guess you guys went to that movie after all, huh? Hope you didn't have your phone on in the theater, lol.

We are here, hot and humid today but a lovely night. Maura worked tonight so we had an evening on our own, just took a long walk down the rec path near her house, took Maggie mini golfing which was where I called you from, brought her back and put her down and opened a bottle of white wine which Todd recommended.

He is a SWEETHEART and I am really happy that Maura and he are involved. Told you all this but just like typing it, lol, they are a lovely couple, and I like typing that too, they just look natural together. I hate to say it but I look at them together and see little Mauras.

As long as they stay away from Grandma while they're going through middle school, lol.

Anyway like I said she worked tonight but just called and said that they "got rid of the last table" about five minutes ago. THere's a winning attitude toward your customers, lol, "got rid of them." No she told us exactly what happened, they had no one in the place most of the evening and just as they were breaking everything down cleaning etc a couple came in FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING and of course the owner of the place ("Ding dong," Maura calls her, i don't even know what the woman's real name is, lol) let them in and "fell all over herself seating them" and then what else?? TOOK OFF AT NINE (closing time), "so she let these people in and left the three of us holding the bag."

But they're gone and a good thing too, Marty and me are starving, lol. No, Maura said she'd have Todd make Marty and me shift meals, and she called to tell us get ready, it's burgers with blue cheese and bacon, sweet potato fries and mixed green salad. Nice light fare, just what I need at 10 pm, lol, anyway she said she's going to finish up and say good night to Todd and then come home.

Like I told you a nice day, really nice to be up here with her again, and Marty loves it of course, Maggie of course is so happy to see her sister. She is doing what Becca did when you guys came up here, sleeping in the futon with Maura out in the main room while Marty and I take the bed in the bedroom.

She's here already! WIth Todd!

So I'm hitting send. I'll call tomorrow morning but just wanted to say HI, in case I didn't say we will be back in Pleasant Gap Thursday night sometime, that way we'll have all day Friday and the weekend before Marty starts in with the band on Monday, can't believe football season practices are already here but next week, there we go.

And then Maggie starts pre K. NOOOOOOO!

Maybe I'll call later or something, or YOU can call me, but everyone here says nighty night if we don't talk till tomorrow. xoxoxoxoxo love you christy
