Ohh.... Mmmm... ♥

Edit: Should also give a shout out to habiliments for an absolutely fantastic decanting circle. Of the ones I've joined so far, hers has by far been my favorite. She included two bags of delicious tea, tootsie ( Read more... )

Considering my plans for tomorrow, I feel like I should La Vie Boheme playing (if I had it that is...) Going to try and talk my friends into accompanying me to a wine-tasting, buying a bottle of red, then going to see another friends "play in the park" performance of a 1920's piece of theater ( Read more... )

MR. NANCYBefore Fat Charlie's father had come into the bar, the barman had been of the opinion that the whole karaoke evening was going to be an utter bust; but then the little old man had sashayed into the room, walked past the table of several blonde women with the fresh sunburns and smiles of tourists...He had tipped his hat to them, for he wore ( Read more... )
