12:54 pm - All aboard the Sale-Boat!
|
Have actually made Zazzle sales! Yay! $.19 in profit that will come to me probably nine years from now when I make enough for them to cut me a check. I've created quite a variety of products on the site so far with designs from Irish castles to rainbow muffins to purple irises. However, the only product that's been noticed so far is my Cape May postcards, for which I've had two distinct purchases.
I am pretty sure this justifies a "business trip" to Cape May to collect more source material.
While having sold even just the two pictures is really awesome, I would raise the roof if someone actually bought the esoteric, Latin-inscribed dog bowl I made yesterday. Because they would definitely be my soul mate.
current mood:  accomplished

A hearty, Irish toast for a brand new year:
"May your home always be too small to hold all your friends."
Thank you to everyone who was involved in making this such a good year for me. Please stick around for that which is yet to come.
*love*

It was a perfectly lovely day at Skyline Caverns, Three Fox Vineyards, and Griffin Tavern. Until it was destroyed by the following:
Rob: "Look at that bright green pick-up truck. Hey, maybe it's a Transformer...Optimus Lime!"

12:24 pm - The Olive Garden -- Fair Lakes, VA
|
The perfection of Northern Virginia sums up my feelings on The Olive Garden's offering. Flash fried, crispy, and hot--all within the traditional realm. The fish itself was tender and flavorful. While the breading did not consist of the ideal flaky crust, this is an undertaking that few can achieve; thus, I offer no criticism. The tiny rings were presented with a choice of an apparently homemade, gently spiced marinara alongside a cup of light dill sauce. This is what Red Lobster wanted to work and failed. Those who prefer a white sauce with their calamari will be pleased. The dill sauce added an unusual flavor that did not mask the natural goodness of the squid.
Beautiful on its own with a choice of imaginative and complementary dippings. Thus far for the best hometown calamari, I will ask for a table at the Olive Garden.

Of note:
* ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) shaynehunter might find it funny as to what appeared randomly under "good movies."
* The hamburger cartoon is the most wicked sample of irony.
* Dude talking to his stuffed frog is "intellectual conversation." Yeah. Um. Yeah.

2:45 pm - Glad hymns of praise from land and sea...
|
After a week that ended on a crappy note, I was very thankful that Robert and I were able to attend a performance by the U.S. Navy Band's jazz ensemble, The Commodores, last night at Lake Accotink. It was a fabulous performance that included both instrumental and vocal selections. By a bright pink sunset over the lake, the evening could not have been sweeter.
Now, with my trusty dial-up connection at my side, downloading their CDs should only take about the next eight weeks.

10:20 pm - Put a cork in it

Alright, readership...tonight's pretentious theme is wine songs. Either songs about wine or songs that contain significant wine references. What must you add to the rack?
Red, Red Wine
UB40/Neil Diamond
Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that I
Still need her so.
Your Mistake
Sister Hazel
I’m not right,
I’m not fine.
Wanna be rain
That tastes like wine.
Dust on the Bottle
David Lee Murphy
There might be
A little dust on the bottle,
But it’s one of those things
That gets sweeter with time.
Strawberry Wine
Deana Carter
Like strawberry wine and 17
The hot July moon saw everything.
My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet
Green on the vine,
Like strawberry wine.
Don’t Happen Twice
Kenny Chesney
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups,
3 AM I fell in love
For the first time in my life
Oh that's something that just don't happen twice.
Don’t Know Why
Nora Jones
My heart is drenched in wine,
But you’ll be on my mind forever.
Watermelon Crawl
Tracy Byrd
She said we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law.
If you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon crawl.
current mood:  awake

1) Oh, how the circumstances resemble the notion of treading across shards of crystalline substance.
2) As a pure vessel, tangible as has never before transpired.
3) I yearn for an alternate option that will aid me during my partially-mesmerizing form of existence.
4) The maiden cognitively processes that my agricultural apparatus creates in her an instinctual allure.
5) In a repeat episode of deterioration at the jurisdiction of a favored potent potable.
6) The woman currently has restored herself to this layer of breathable air and reserves within her tresses particles of a specific orbiter.
7) I offer you legal tender enough to purchase a stamp from 1990. It will enable you to contact a citizen who can empathize.
8) She is making her way to our position. Take caution, chaps, or this female will initiate digestion with you. She is defined as a fellow consumer.
9) A comrade of mine that embraces the ideals of Marx hosts conferences in his portable domicile.
10) Following a long duration we are united, subsequent to a lapse of one hundred score.

8:21 pm - Roses are red...
|
 | | The Sonnet
Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLDf)
Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?
Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.
Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.
You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.
ALWAYS AVOID: The 5-Night Stand, The False Messiah, The Hornivore, The Last Man on Earth
CONSIDER: The Loverboy |
