@aaww https://t.co/Kiv8KPfF08 You couldn’t call me
sinner. In my country—

I'm like... jealous / can't fathom having any energy after writing just one I should change my name to Emaily Yoon since I spend 89.73% of my time for emailing @sebastianparamo Here’s a Gary we caught and released today… he was barely an inch long! https://t.co/sAzHynpzZ1 David and I named all the geckos Gary so we're frequently saying things like \"Gary's in the crack between the fridge and the counter,\" \"Quick, give me a container so I can trap Gary,\" \"Is this Gary a baby,\" & we're just a Little House of the Garies @brownroundboi Happy birthday, love!!! Sounds like you had a wonderful day! !! Thank you so much for listening! 🥰 @RichieHof we are cut from the same velvet @RichieHof Miss you too!! I know you're a true friend when you respond like this to a tweet confessing that I'm a jerk lol I lost one follower right after tweeting this, I guess that's fair enough *When a mosquito bites my husband*"
Me: Aren't you glad that at least it wasn't me? :) :) lolol suckerrrr or more like a sucker got to you!!! lolol
Husband: ...
*When a mosquito bites me*
Me: WHY ME? WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN TO ME
Husband: ... @robottomulatto nooooo!

Heat enters the tiny room like electricity
