Good Monday to you, friends!
How was your weekend?

I would have though Don would be a nickname for Donovan before Donato, but that's really cool!
ReplyDeleteYes! Same. But I kinda like Donato---it is unique. ;D
Deleteor Donald XDD but Donato is rlly cool!!
DeleteHa! YESSS. That would've been great for this! xD Because someone named that in a present generation would most likely not like it as he grows up... because it's more of an outdated/old-fashioned name (no offense to any Donalds! I'm thinking character-wise ;D)
DeleteNICKNAMES. I just LOVE the nickname ones! Jase is such a fun one. And Talonna! SO PRETTY. I love Lonna AND Tal as a nickname for that one. Totally writing that one down! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl! I do too! ^_^ And I agree! I can't really say which I like better of the two. But I could certainly see a character by that name, with maybe her family & friends using both, ya know? Or maybe her family calls her Lonna & her friends call her Tal---or vice versa. ;D
DeleteI LOVE ALL OF THESE SO MUCH!!! I missed these posts. <3
ReplyDeleteSo this is probably just me, but trying to view these with Chrome on my phone, I've noticed all the names don't load since you've updated.
ReplyDeleteOn my phone it shows "n" as the nickname for Donato.
I've been reading your blog for a long time, although this might be my first comment.
I'm not sad for summer to end -- my week of scheduled vacation is in September! :)
Hi, Lauren! :D I'm so sorry to hear. I wouldn't have a clue why it would be doing that. I've checked it on my phone, but it uses Apple's Safari launcher for the websites & everything seems to load well there. Does this happen on every post?
DeleteNo worries! So happy to have such a longtime reader! *^ - ^* *showers virtual confetti & sprinkles* I'd hug you if I could. ;D
Oooh! I love drawing out vacations. And usually the later months of the year are the BEST time to go. Have fun & enjoy!!
I would say I'd do what I can on my end to help fix the issue, but I honestly have no idea even where to begin... So sorry! If it keeps happening, please let me know again & I'll try something. Thanks, girl!
