I decided to finally do the legal name change. It seemed awfully daunting so I put it off. Serina Danielle Bender Black. Basically I dumped “Carla” and replaced it with Serina and added mom’s maiden name in there. I’ll go by Serina Black. I left Bender in there so as not to hurt dad’s feelings or whatever. I don’t see why he’d care, but mom said that and I felt bad. I’ll probably ask Bobbie and Karen to help me out with this rather than mom. It seems like something she’d get super stressed about anyway.

I ordered dad’s Christmas present but haven’t ordered moms yet because I have to have her look at it before I can. She had mentioned a long sweatshirt that she used to wear indoors. I thought I’d try to find something similar to that but I don’t remember this specific sweatshirt. She’s gonna have to tell me. 😅 Dad is so easy to shop for. Get him a cool shirt and he’s happy.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! Today I shall spend time with my family and feast on livermush and cheesy potatoes!
