Laura, remember how almost a year ago I instructed you to have some babies so I can buy you cool design-y baby stuff? Well, the time has come.

I stood there in the store for a long time deciding between the Grapefruit or the Chocolate Covered Cherries scents... and I went for the Grapefruit.
Now my car smells all tangy and delicious.
