The theme was believe in the magic of giving. I think they'll win. MLIA.Today on my way to work I noticed the "low fuel" warning on the dashboard. I pulled over and got some gas. MLIAToday I really wanted some Pop Tarts. I went to the store to get some, but they were out of Raspberry, my favourite kind. I bought Strawberry instead, because Strawberry is almost as good as Raspberry. MLIAToday I sat in the kitchen eating my left-over sandwich alone. It only took me 15 mins to eat, so I went to Walgreens to buy chocolate for the rest of the 45 minutes. I bought People to find out how Kristie Alley got fat again. MLIAToday I was driving behind a car that had a bumper sticker which said "What Would Hermione Do?" After 5 minutes I realized Hermione probably wouldn't stalk the car taking haphazard pictures of the sticker with her cellphone. So I stopped. MLIM Success.
