Sorry Arugula, I know I said I'd love you forever and never go back to Lettuce again.  I still have deep feelings for you, and I haven't been hooking up with Lettuce, but I've been seeing another leafy green. My new crush's name is Kale and I think it might be true love.  I loved how you tasted in my mouth, Arugula, but you always gave me such bad ( Read more... )

So since the creation of my Facebook page, I've been sorely neglecting my LJ account.  Which is really too bad, because I really do enjoy posting stuff here.  I'm going to make a concerted effort to post on a more regular basis - even though for me, that seems to mean once every three years ( Read more... )

So OK......I'm engaged!  Finally!  I've only had to wait 6 years for this guy to make up his mind.  Even then he needed a bit of a push.  Or was it blackmail ( Read more... )

OK, so I really haven't been using my Livejournal account for.....well.....for a really long time.  I've been pretty much living on Facebook, which I like because I've caught up with a lot of people that I haven't heard from in years, but I've been sorely neglecting poor LJ.  Stupid Facebook and your stupid addicting ways.  So I'm going to try to ( Read more... )
