So many good words this month! If there wasn't a holiday in November I would totally have picked As You Wish!! But I just know if I picked it I would never finish...sigh.

Whoop whoop I did it! There are always times in life that working too hard comes in handy (not just in justifying ordering quantum frames, which may also be something that sleep deprevation has led me to today)
