Crossword Queen!

So I guess I'm not really the "Crossword Queen" per se...I only just finished my first ever New York Times crossword puzzle today...but I have grand plans to become amazingly talented at crosswords someday.

I am incredibly proud of today's triumph and hope to have many more similar triumphs in the future!

{Yes.  It is a Monday crossword.  Yes.  Those are the easiest ones.   Yes.  I have been trying to finish a crossword for....ages....and only just succeeded for the first time today.
Please stop raining on my parade.}
