I am claiming the whole evening of free binning with Melissa while we procrastinated real life as my moment. Including the complete lack of free bins in Abbey-Buck and Prospect, the extremely cute green jacket Melissa got, the weird dampness of all the clothes in Wilder's and the tape deck I found on the floor - as well as the subsequent "Here we ( Read more... )
