(no subject)
So, as usual, I'm a day (or three) late and a dollar short. I got this meme a few days ago and never got around to posting.
Comment and I'll give you a letter, then list 10 things you love that start with that letter.
rainpuddle13 gave me the letter "V" and here is what I've come up with:
1. Vanilla: It always makes me think of my husband. The cologne he wore when we first started dating had a vanilla topnote, and I always get a smile on my face when I smell it.
2. Valentine's Day: I'm a big mush ball. And my husband gets these to-die-for petit fours for me... yum.
3. Vellum paper: The translucency and smooth texture of really expensive vellum makes me want to get out my good calligraphy pen and ink well and write beautiful, old-fashioned notes. Why? Because my grandmother spent hours with me as a child, patiently teaching me penmanship by tracing letters onto vellum.
4. Voldemort's nickname- Voldie: It's totally overused these days, but when the nickname first showed up, I giggled like a ten year-old girl.
5. Vera Wang: She makes the most gorgeous wedding gowns. I wish I had the opportunity to get married in one, but I can say that I had a unique wedding gown- Army BDU's four days before I left for Afghanistan. :)
6. My mum's vegetable and barley soup: I'm a total sucker for it. She uses at least two dozen veggies in it, half of which I hate normally, but somehow, they taste great in her soup.
7. Victoria's Secret black striped thigh-highs: They always make me feel sexy, whether I wear them with a skirt or under slacks.
8. The word 'vapid': I love it; it just sounds like an insult, doesn't it?
9. Versailles: It's one place I've always wanted to see, and it's in the top three places I want to go before I die.
10. Violin music: Something about it is so emotional, and yet soothing. A beautifully played piece still has the ability to make my eyes well up with tears.
