In the just so you know category……..
When your dad and I got married a somewhat cheesy friend of his had a stock the bar party for us. The most AWFUL thing we got was a liquor decanter that had a naked cherub on top – the liquor came out of his you-know-what. I was horrified and i’m not exactly sure what I said, but I think it wasn’t very appreciative. It didn’t last long – I gave it to someone who was going to a white elephant gift party that wasn’t church related.

"I'm named after the song A Letter to Elise by The Cure, and my middlenames: Klara and Lisel were chosen because my mom had a dream about having a daughter named Klara, and she promised my great-grandmother that she would name me Lisel."
