some things never change
When I was a little girl, the only soda I would drink (other people called it “pop,” but I couldn’t,) was 7-Up. I hated all the fruity things, root beer gave me a headache, and I thought Coke and Pepsi were cloying, though I probably wouldn’t have used that word.

Halloween Post Review
Here are a few things I’ve posted for Halloween over the past couple years; figured they were worth collecting in one spot.
