The holidays. Which are coming up again soon (you know it's true)!

Snowplay

Preparing for battle. They made bricks from plastic buckets which, by the way, are still outside burried in the snow. Classic.

About Me

KIM: If they made a movie of my life it would be called "Revenge of the Cat People". A younger Sophia Loren would play me, obviously.
