➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

January 6 is both my birthday and how I got my name. I was born 6 weeks premature (and a different gender from what they expected). When they called around to tell the family the news, my grandfather had just gotten out of church and told them they should name me after the epiphany. So they did. Epiphania translates to Stephanie.

Dominican Republic celebrates January 6 like Christmas. It's usually a very festive day.

Epi have you told us this real name before? It's not ringing my bell.

Can y’all keep a secret?

Hubby and I visited two animal shelters today to look at some pups we’ve had our eye on and went home with applications submitted for two different dogs. Both dogs have holds on them with multiple people in line before us, but... there’s a chance.
I’m extremely anxious and I don’t know why. I guess I’m worried that we goofed up and now isn’t the right time for a dog, but if not now then when? We have an income, a house, and plenty of at-home time for a new pup. So why am I so dang nervous.

Oh Tes...I hope you get one or both.

Go for it! but take a more zen like approach. The right dog(s) will come into your life.

We don’t want both! Only one.
I have a classmate who works at the shelter and said that one of the dogs we applied for is pretty dog aggressive, so that’s probably a no-go.

I don’t know how we could get more zen lol. I’m just an anxious goober.

She’s told us about Stephanie, but not Epi. Epiphania is an awesome name.

That's what I thought.

I wonder if she likes to tell new people Steph because they can't pronounce Epi.
