Among a list of newfound abilities: waking up from a dead sleep to answer a phone call from a company I’d like to work for and sounding like I’ve been bright eyed and awake for hours.
Celia: Wait you want to become sisters instead of lovers?
Lily: What, is this like Kentucky or something??
Celebrating the first Thursday of December the way that it should be done: hot cocoa + whiskey + buttershots + whipped cream. Delicious.
