My house smells good
Bought the christmakkuh tree - it's fab. 7' noble fir and the entire house reflects the quality of this thing that gave it's life for my 3 week enjoyment. Decorations to come.
A Christmas Carol was good - not as fantastic as last year, but good. Dinner was fantastic (pat myself on the back for choosing) as was our amazing hotel Hotel Sorrento ( ( Read more... ) -

I love the smell of burning hair in the morning
Most of my life I have been cursed by curly, frizzy hair. I had wavy hair as a child, but manageable. And then came *insert ominous music* puberty. Eeeeek! My hair went nuts and has never recovered.

Why I love "Rock of Love 2" or "the duece" as I like to call it
