So I'm shopping today - cuz I suck at Christmas. And realize that my nieces baptism is on Sunday and I - the heathen one- am going to be her Godmother. I have a little trinket box with an appropriate carving on it and poem in it to give her - but I feel like it needs something else - a note, a trinket to put in it? I don't have Godparents so I don't know how this works. Thankfully BM told me I should even get her something.
I'm one of my nephew's godmother's and did not give a gift. Lol
But in all seriousness. Maybe a plain gold/silver bracelet?
Sometimes the hallmark store sells those guardian angel type trinkets. Not sure if that's your bag. ? You did describe yourself as the heathen. Lol. Some sort of keepsake might be good
Yea that box is kind of from that line and has a spiritual but not Christian poem in it - so it suited me. Maybe I'll just try to come up w a note to put in it. I wish I was artsy I would paint her initials on or something.
I think a handwritten note would be perfect. My SIL isn't a Christian like I am, but the note she wrote to L at the baby shower about how much she loves her & is excited to be in her life still makes me tear up. You can never go wrong with jewelry though LOL.
ETA something I wanted to do for our niece/goddaughter was to mail her a "spiritual birthday" card every year on her baptism date, but I miserably failed.
Guise, one of DH's students gave him fresh honey from their bees for Xmas. We didn't even know they had bees. I thought it was so cool. Now I feel like I should do something special with this fresh honey. Except I have no clue.
My FIL has bees, and we love his honey so much. We love eating it on biscuits in the morning. I think it's best to use it in a way that you can really appreciate the unadulterated flavor.
Dean was a good first love, but they were too different, and he did grow up to be a total tool. I think Jess was good for her, and challenged her a lot in important ways, but ultimately he was selfish. Logan was great in the end, but I couldn't get over what a snobbish, self-entitled ass he was at the beginning. I guess I never believed he stopped being that way. I like to think Rory ended up with the right person years later, after establishing herself as an amazing journalist. Also, so much for Sookie St.James.
I love the GoT books. Just started watching the series, so I'm undecided on that yet.
Also @sarenu1 you just made me very happy I missed the last season of House.
I've been watching Make-up tutorials and stuff all day. SO just keeps looking over at me and complaining that I'm turning into a girl. Oooook. I'm sorry you think that make up makes girl look fake, I still like putting that ish on my face.
Posole is a delicious Mexican soup made with pork or chicken and hominy and seasoned with peppers. The soup itself is pretty simple, but then you garnish it with shredded cabbage, radishes, lime wedges, cilantro, red onion, avocado and tortilla chips. Or any combination of the above. I love the contrast between the hot soup and the cold garnish. You should try it. I bet your kids would love customizing their own bowls.

Nope and nope.

No. It's a legit spoiler. It's a joke though since like 99.99% of the US population knows it.
