  8. ms scarlet ~ I drink tea when the coffee shakes get too bad, or when I'm sick. I don't dunk, I like my crunchy things, crunchy; not soggy.

  9. That was interesting what is worrying is a lot made sense even the ones that did not make sense, except you want to go back to school? that shows a wide streak of insanity!!

  10. vetnurse ~ methinks you read that too quick...or what I wrote in my head was not what appeared on screen (which frequently happens).

    What I meant is that I don't ever want to go back to school. Ugh. The only problem with reincarnation is that you have to live through puberty yet again. It's put me off.

  13. dave ~ I look forward to your take on the meme. Unfortunately, I take up gainful employment again on Monday. The good news is I can eat, drink and be merry on Tuesdays and Fridays. Give me a week to get over the shock of working for a living and let's organise something for the week after.

    I'm more of a tea person but I'm learning to drink coffee through the joys of caffefrappalattemachiatos

  28. Except for the bit about accepting a groom who gets to the church on time adorned in the meterosexual resplendency of pink tux and crocs, you sound disturbingly normal...
    what if HE was a fireman?

    I appreciate your honesty.

    ReplyDelete
  29. cyberpete ~ cider is gooood. Hits the spot.

    donn ~ call me normal again and there will be trouble. Besides I thought you were quite observant...my bad.
