I don’t know about you, but sometimes my mind plays tricks on me and I just can’t trust my memory. I was listening to “Never” the other day when my husband asked whose song that was. I told him it was Heart’s and said “remember that band from the 80s formed exclusively by girls?”, but he had no recollection of it. Then I decided to show him the music video, and there was a man playing the drums

Vanilla cookie buttons with strawberry icing and being tricked by my memory

Strawberry cheesecake ice cream and a very, very scary movie
