I am SO doing this one. I made your favourite cake yesterday, and it was delicious. I think cream cheese frosting is about the most divine substance on the planet. I could live on it.

And I never really “got” the Half-Moon Pose until one day it occurred to me that it was just Trikonasana tipped over.
I might just pick this meme up. Thanks.
