Anyone still here?
Hey gang! Anyone still around?
I logged in to save some stuff from the old days, and was feeling nostalgic.
I dont know who is still around, but if you're out there, comment to say hello!
Ive been watching a creator on TikTok talk about all the wild fandom hijinx and drama of the early 2000's, and wondered if anyone else misses the old days.

My name's Ivanna....
So I has funny story.
WARNING! WARNING! WALL OF TEXT TO FOLLOW!!
As I posted below, I scheduled my free "ZOMG, you spent almost enough here to cost you your marriage, so we're going to give you a free make over" make over at Sephora.
I tried just calling the store to schedule with my favorite Sephora lady here at Ala Moana Mall but they told me I had to book online. Fine, I am good with the app. As we all know, I can work that Sephora app like no body's bizznezz!
So they tell me on the phone to put in the special requests blurb who I want, and also, in case my fav lady isn't there, to add what I'm most interested in, so they can find someone who'd be a good match.
Yeah. right.
So, Yesi, my favorite Sephora lady was off on Saturday.
No worries, right? I mean, I put "Bright look, anti ageing make up tips and skin care to look younger) on my request, right?
HA HA.
So I get there, and there was a big confusion because they had TWO GINA'S on the schedule! And they thought since it's such a RARE name, it was the same person added twice! ZOMG. So then they do find my reservation and no, they didnt' forget me per se, they had me all set up, but just not written on the clip board.
Whatever, I'm good.
So I go sit down, and the Sephora lady assigned to me is 20 years old MAX. (hello, anti aging!)
She asks me what I want and I splain I want brightening, happy make up and I wear a lot of pink, baby blue and green and florals, and I am interested in anti aging skin care, and I use TONS of retinol, and primer was important to me, as I'm in search of a good one! I tell her that things turn orange on me and I do best with a cool pallette, even though my hair is dark. It's misleading because my hair and eyes are dark, but warm tones are NOT good on me.
So she goes away and comes back with foundation WAY TOO DARK and goes back to get another one, this time only marginally too dark. So she blends it all down my neck, LOL! Ewww!
And she used an Urban Decay Eyeshadow Naked Pallette on me. Good, right? But alas, not the pretty pink one! One full of burnt browns. HOW SAD!
But she did turn me on to sparkly stilla eye glitter stuff that a woman my age should NOT be crazy excited about (yes, I bought it!)
So she drew on big dragon lady eye brows! LOL OMG! You know like the crazy Kardashian eyebrows? LOL! HA HA HA. I looked like I should be living in a secret base inside a mountain plotting to kill Austin Powers with a heavy Eastern European accent with brows like that!
So I had the "exotic" eyebrows and the burnt brown eye shadow, and the gold sparkly thing I loved, and she comes out with....WAIT FOR IT
KAT VON D TATTOO LIQUID EYE LINER IN BLACK OMG SO BLACK, THE DARKEST EYE LINER YOU EVER SAW.
HA HA HA
And THEN says it's time to use bronzer. Wait, what? Do you not see how pale I am? Well, no you can't because this foundation is way too dark. See? that works...I guess...Errr...
So she puts bronzer on me and makes it look ok. ok.
And she did find a blush I never would have picked because it was a kind of clay color that pulled nice and pink on me, so that worked.
Now, before I get to the Piece D'Irrrestance, please keep in mind I'm wearing a powder blue silkish tank with a buff/goldish light sweater.
Chilli Pepper ORANGE RED lip stick.
She was so sweet, and she worked that eyeshadow, no doubt. But took SUCH a wrong turn at Albuquerque (shout out to bugs bunny) with the pallette in general, it was a HOOT
She was so nice, and when it became clear we were going in a totally new (off) direction, instead of asking her to back track when she asked me if I liked it, I told her "No no, show me something new" trying to embrace it, because - And i know this will be a shock to you - Sometimes I think I know EVERYTHING! LOL and I'm so wrong! LOL So I tried to lean in and learn something. So it wasn't her fault.
But it sure was funny! LOL
Bronzer! LOL
But the eyebrows were the best part.
All I could think of was what's her face on Austin Powers "My names Ivanna, I vanna Humpalot!" LOL I told my hubby that, he found that quite funny, lol Go figure.

So, how is everyone out there?
lots of things have changed for me
I'm living in hawaii! wow!
also, my kids are GROWN and in college, omg! LOL
In less than happy news, you all might remember my good friend, Devarouex, I'm very sad to report she has passed away recently. She died of cancer. I'm totally not ok, to be honest.
She was the closest friend I have ever had in my entire life.
anyone out there who remembers her, keep her in your prayers. and down a tequilla shot in her honor

So, it occurred to me, I never used to post pictures of myself on LJ. I was always so paranoid about how I looked, what people might think...Did I look fat? etc.
So, it's still hard for me to deal with pictures of myself, I have a lot of worry about all the things I posted above.
But, here I am. I'm older than you probably think! LOL These are all recent, within the past year.
( Here's Dandie!Collapse )
I know, the pix are HUGE. I dont' know how to resize them here, I'd have to hit photoshop to do it.

I'm really getting very irritated with facebook. It's like a world full of ninnies that get totally butt hurt over everything anyone says.
I kind of think the people on there don't understand about blogging and sarcastic, scathing humor that was the internet in it's nexus.
You can't make a snarky post about a movie or tv show without wailing and gnashing of teeth.
::sighs::
I remember the old days, blogging long and hard about inflammatory subjects without having to worry that there would be butt hurtness all over the place.
It's like a bunch of pansy's invaded the world wide web...

So I heard a snippet of a song on the radio yesterday. It made me think of an old friend I haven't heard from in a long, long time. It made me nostalgic, and I remembered all the good times...
You know who you are...
"It's been a long day...Without you my, friend.
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again...
We've come a long way, from where we began -
Oh tell you all about it when I see you again..."
That being said, I know nothing at all about the song. If it goes on to be about something totally different than missing someone you haven't seen or heard from in a long time, consider this my disclaimer, LOL! I mean it like "Hey, I thought of you the other day..."

So I tried to make some icons for a grimm icon challenge group here on lh.
TRIED
Yes, I, the QUEEN of icons was stumped! I have been making big graphics now for a few years. Banners, headers, funny fb and tumbler graphics, etc.
I tried to cut a graphic down to 100 x 100 and was like "OMG, that is SO SMALL!"
Yes, how are the mighty fallen! LOL

So, the state of Dandie Land
Hey Gang! Long time no post!
I've gone back to work full time in an office to support my horse habit.
My kids are now TEENAGERS if you can imagine that!
My father passed away almost 2 years ago now.
My mother is living in a memory wing of a nursing home as she battles dementia.
I look back across all the years on LJ and I see so many happy memories and fun times
HUGS TO ALL OF YOU
I'm deep in Grimm fandom these days. I'm @dandelow on twitter (naturelment) and I run @TeamRenard which is a positive, supportive fan space for the Captain Renard character and the actor who plays him, Sasha Roiz.
I have made TONS of graphics and things for Grimm, natch.
I may join some icon contests for Grimm here, or maybe just fangirl around some more.
Love, Puff

So Like....
Do any of you actually pack up your summer clothes in winter and put them away and do the same with your winter clothes in summer? Because...I just don't have time for that. As a result, I am OVERWHELMED by an alpine avalanche of laundry that I cannot control
My mother always packed up her clothes and stored them that way...But she's evil anyways, LOL!
Also, was watching tv tonight while wating for the trick or treaters (and now I will digress WILDLY from the above train of thought) and they advertised this show that was supposed to *SCIENTIFICALLY* scientifically, mind you...analyze the patterson gimlin Bigfoot film from 1967. I wanted to watch it because
a. it's SO a dude in a suit (there's an eye slit! OMG, a rectangular eye slit through which one can see an anglo saxon nose!) and
b. when I was like seven years old, I saw the film on a nature show where they were passing it off as a real film of wildlife, and I was totally freaked out!
So I turn it on....AND IT'S A BUNCH OF BIGFOOT NUTS who are so sad you can barely laff at them without feeling like you just kicked a nerd when he was down. One dude's name was BOBO and I swear he might be half big foot. He's probably THE DUMBEST person I've seen on tv. And he has the questionable distinction of being so huge he gets to stand in for bigfoot in the re enactments! so these goobs went to meet Patterson or Gimlin, whichever one is still alive. And they rode on horseback down to where the big dude in the suit with primate brestessess the she foot walked. So they are GEEKING OUT and saying dumb stuff like "this is the ultimate dream for a 'squatcher
yes, they call themselves that!
And then, Bobo sees the holy land, the very area where the shefoot walked, and he's like in bigfoot nirvana and he says "Dude! I totally can't believe how close you were to the 'squatch, man! You know guys, they were so close that if this had been a guy in a suit, Patterson and Gimlin would have been able to tell!"
...
Just let that sink in a moment...I'll wait....
So, like, Bobo...Honey? *IF* that had been a dude in a suit (it *so* was sweetie, give it up) that would mean that PATTERSON AND GIMLIN WERE IN ON IT! IT WAS A HOAX!
What did he think? That if it was a dude in a suit that Patterson and Gimlin just happened upon him while they had their camera? Seriously?
I saw a show a while back where they had the dude on who was allegedly in the suit. Remember, P and G were in showbusiness! they knew people in the industry. If I remember correctly, they had some big wrestler dude friend of theirs stuffed into the suit.
Anyway, just so's you all know, *IF* that was a dude in the suit, then Patterson and Gimlin WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TELL! So I can't even see why this is open to debate any longer! LOL
The other extremely sad element of the story is that all the geek boys looking for bigfoot couldn't stop talking about the BREASTS on the FAKE Bigfoot.
OMG, Bigfoot Brestesses, now that is the scariest thing I can think of...I guess this post is appropriate for halloween! LOL

I made a new icon...
I kind of like it. :) It's really rather plain and un busy-i-fied for me. Of course, one icon is not a monumental thing.
Would you guys add anything to it??
Hey, hey hey! I've been having fun playing with icons again lately, only I used to be SO MUCH BETTER than now. I see stuff and think "Hey, I used to know how to do that!" LOL
So if you have the time and think it might be fun, post some idears for an icon series for me to play with, and an effect you haven't seen from me to see if I can learn it. (If it's fancy dancy, a tutorial would be hot)
However, I realize most of us are crazy busy and don't have time to ponder what icons I should be making, LOL! So...if you haven't time or interest, no big!

ZOMG! IN WHICH I FALL DOWN COMBUSTED IN FLAMES OF PISSY...
I swear to goodness! If I'm found dead of an exploded head from rage, with flames shooting out of my eyes and uninteligible gurgaling coming from my mouth, convusling on the floor, it will all be because my teen age daughter drove me to a spontaneous combustion of rage! OMG! People will say "Poor thing, she was so friendly and fun, what happened???" And I will scream out from beyond the grave "TEEN AGERS WILL MAKE YOU SELF DESTRUCT!!!"
Do you all remember how General Grevious died? Do you? screaming and with his head exploding in flames?
THAT IS ME, OMG! HOLY FREAKING CRAP MY HEAD WILL EXPLODE!

MOAR DOCTOR WHO RAMBLINGS!
OMG, LOVE DAVID TENNANT AS DOCTOR WHO!!
Not that way, LOL! I'm not hawt for the Doc, but I do luff him with much geeky luff.
There is just enough smart is sexy, just enough aloof, just enough wild mad scientist, and just enough saving of the companion to make a wench happy.
I lament the lack of smooching the doctor gets... - as in - nearly none. I want very much for him to KISS MARTHA! OMG, KISS HER ALREADY! But alas, he does not. I fear he will never smooch anyone. Poor doctor, all the schmartness and saving the future and everyone and everything...And yet he gets no smooches.
What a Travesty!
Now, I will say YOU ALL TOLD ME SO:
and;
YOU WERE ALL CORRECT that I would come to luff Tennant as The Doctor. I think I like him even more than Eccleston Doctor, but I'm not totally sure of that.
Again, I will make the totally *in vain* prediction that I don't think I will like the next doctor at all.
I also will refrain at this point from making any more disparaging remarks against Donna. This is because although I really didn't like her in the first episode we saw her in (wedding w/spiders) all of you seem to love her.
*and* you were totally right about Tennant, so I think I will take your collective words for it from now on and give her the benefit of the doubt, LOL
(But I really did think she was harsh and caustic and unpleasant in the first episode. I hope for a new side of her when she resurfaces.)
I am currently at the point in the series where Martha has left and The Doctor has no companion. The titanic just crashed into the tardis, but I have not yet seen that episode.
I still can't bring myself to watch any of the old Dr. Who tv shows with those ugly scary looking doctors from the sixties and seventies. I PHEAR THEM.
I think I'll stick with the newer, mad scientist, smart is sexy, doctor.
I like him best when he's being a crazy ass mad scientist, LOL
*****************
In other news, started watching the old x files shows on netflix last night. OMG! I used to think they were so good. They are so hokey! How come we loved it so much????

Jack's dong better...YAY
Mood:  happy
So I went out to the farm today to check on Jack. Thankfully, he's doing MUCH better. YAY. He's not head bob lame or hip dropping, etc. He's still sore and not tracking up as much, but over all, nothing hugely alarming.
Don't get me wrong, he's not sound yet, LOL! But considering the magnitude of the injury, it's very good to see!
I asked daughter to trot the horse so I could get some video. LOL! Daughter was surly and angry that she had to stop texting to trot the horse.
--Horsie hasn't been ridden since the first week of june. Horise has been eating tons of alfalfa cubes and grass and not working. Horsie isn't in as much pain anymore.
--Horsie had a nose full of SNORT and wanted to trot out, LOL! He didn't do anything stupid. He's much too polite (NOW, after being through Gina's Ground Manners Boot Camp after arriving) but he was...FRESH, LOL. He trotted out with that big loooong hunter stirde that I LOVE and shook his head and snorted over and over and kinda pulled on daughter just a bit as she ran next to him.
Daughter got pissy and stopped short and pulled the lead rope (regular lead, clipped on, no chain, no bridle, etc.) horse hopped up in the air a tiny amount on all four, turned to face her and threw his head up in the air as if to say "WHAT? WHAT WHAT WHAT??? YOU ASKED ME TO TROT! I'M TROTTING!! LEMMIE ALONE!" LOL
And daughter, who pretends to be fearless, looked at the horse, and then at me and I could tell she was nervous! LOL. He's 16.2 and a half, so he's a big enough boy, and he did have rolly thoroughbred eyes at the time, LOL!
So a friend's daughter took the horse and trotted him around (from the ground, he's not under saddle again yet) and I got the video. then I lunged him just a bit. He actually looked better on the lunge line, which is odd, considering it's a tighter circle. But, hey, I'm still pleased.
I was trying to post the video's, but they are in my phone and too big to attach to email or whatever, so I'm grumbling around trying to figure it out.
Stay tuned!
Luff, Puff

I'm STILL awake, and I should not be!
But I had a nice day!
Slept in (yay me!) and then had this nicey nice plan to ask the kids when they came home from school what they wanted for dinner. You see, they complain a lot now that I'm working that I don't cook like I used to. So I had this big idear to ask them what they wanted and then go to the store, get whatever it is and make it. yay!
Well, you'd THINK I was asking them to walk on broken glass or something with the way they reacted! LOL.
Son wanted to do nothing but play playstation and daughter started screaming that she wanted to go hang out with her friend down the street and how it was NOT FAIR! That I would want them to come to the store with me and help me get everything so I could cook....FOR THEM.
Sheesh!
So hubby came home and I told him about the Teen Age Melt Down.
So he suggested just he and I go to the mall and get him some new dress shoes for work and then go out and eat and then go to walmart (I needed a bunch of house stuff). So, we told the kids this is what we were doing, and they were welcome to come along. Neither wanted to come with us.
So we got hubby some nice shoes, ate at a really good hibachi buffet, and then I found some nice curtins for my bedroom, a new kitchen matt (with roosters on it, because I love chicken stuff in my kitchen! LOl) and had a nice relaxing time and came home. YAY.
Teens were FLABBERGHASTED that I had not brought something home to cook for them, LOL! They honestly thought I would start cooking and/or bring them take out! LOL. Hubby and I laffed!
We had told them both that if they didn't come, they could make hot dogs or something at home, but that I wasn't going to come home and cook. They just filtered that out, LOL
You should have seen their faces, LOL.
Then we the kids and I watched some Dr. Who, and then I made a couple icons for a contest.
I could have cleaned my house, I suppose, but what fun would that be? LOL

So my kids and I have really been enjoying Dr Who.
However Last night I saw the end in sight for The Manly Doctor and the Less Than Manly Doctors grouping on the horizon. I've really been enjoying this Dr and am not sure I will like the next one.
Tell me true LJers, will dandie like the next Doc? Or will he be too girlie for me?

I was having a Mid Geek Crisis
Mood:  geeky
I guess.
I was feeling out of the technology loop. I felt left behind and needed my kids to show me how to do things on my phone, netflix on the wii, wireless internet, etc. I hadn't been on LJ, I hadn't made an icon, I hadn't posted a Dev and Dande at the movies thread or anything!
But then, all that changed. I got a new smart phone that is pretty current, and at first thought I'd never be able to work the text keys without buttons. I was frustrated for hours and even cried a little LOL! But now I'm swyping along like the geek I always was!
Then I even entered an icon in an icontest and downloaded the Wonder Woman theme for my ringtone. Ha! I've wanted that tone since I got my first cell phone!
Yay Me !!

Never Say Never!
So I want to preface this with a great big "THIS IS ALL EMMY'S FAULT!!"
Now that we have that out of the way...
I have been watching Dr. Who. Not the old dorky series, but some newish one from The BBC. I had been avoiding The Doctor for all these years bc of the nerd factor associated with the plaid and crazy hair and unnatractive actors playing him. Thats Dandie for you, if you make the Doctor more attractive and manly, dande will like the show!
Anyway, the main issue is that I've begun to watch after DECADES of avoidence.
Also, my son is TOTALLY indoctrinated in to the SCIFY of Dr. Who. I had a feeling when we started watching that he'd like the show since most teen aged boys I knew when I was that age were into Dr. Who.
I just want to say that I like the less Austin Scarlett-ly looking Doctor who has that girl Rose as a companion more. And I totally want Rose and the Doctor to be a couple. Sorry Em, but if you drag a Wench into a mythos, She's going to want smooching!!
But the Austin Scarlett Doctor is wittier. He doesn't have a leather jacket like the manlier Docter though.
Also, in a completely unrelated note...Wasn't Liam Hawt in The A Team?
Oh come on... You all had two know Dandie wouldn't be hot for The Doc? RIGHT??

The Big Fella - Michael Collins
So I saw this on TV last night. Just happened on it as I channel surfed. From the very beginning, even. What a serendipitous moment! LOL! As you can see, Teh Mastah does not let me remain idle for long. He usually finds a way to keep me focused on his Supreme Hawtness.
Ok, so you all know I'm a puff for brains. Right? RIGHT? Honestly, you all realize I wander through life clueless with wishpuffs flying around my head, right? Please to keep that image in mind.
Well for YEARS I thought this movie was about a boxer! LOL. I did! they called him "The Big Man" and all the stills I saw from it he was in fist fights! I thought it was an Irish boxer movie and classed it with some sort of "Gangs of NY meets Rocky" kind of thing and skipped it completely.
Yes, I was quite wrong.
So, while I am not going to weigh in on the Heroization of the IRA or the sheer brutality of both sides, because I think the entire situation is too much for anyone to work out at this point, I will say my TV Husband looked FINE in this movie. And in a few of the scenes (sitting on the bed with the rose! OMG!) I nearly became spontaneously pregnant! I haven't seen him looking young and hawt since TPM. I still find him incendiary hot, but more in the Zeus sort of Hawt.
Anyway, just saying. WOW for the huge arms on him in this movie (more reason I thought it was a boxer movie, btw) and hearing everyone refer to him as "the big fella" all through the movie made me giggle.
But the content? tough stuff. well acted. I had emotional reactions to the blood, the brutality and the betrayals, etc. But definatly hard subject matter and a situation I don't get involved in because as a child, all I heard was my mother's Irish ethnocentric feelings for "The Republic" and never realized how bloody and brutal it all was until highschool and became disgusted with all the killing and innocent bloodshed by both sides.
To me, there are no heroes in that situation. ::sighs::
I guess it's the Italian half of me talking! LOL.. Kidding.

Destiny Has Come Full Circle.....
Today The Mastah has called my name. It's true, many are called, but few are chosen. But we all know Dandie was chosen.
Don't worry, this might make sense on a minute. Or, it might not.
Remember gentle readers. Remember back through the mists of time... To a fandom long ago and far away.
Think back now, try. Lo back to the beginning, to the Halls of Valhalla, where a wench may live forever.
We called on the Mastah, Qui Gon Jinn. We called loudly and often. To chat, to flirt, to inspire dirty stories. And he obliged. And he brought the boy wonder with him. The one Dev referred to this evening as "that guy with the big scholong....What's his face, Ewan McGreggor!"
So they came, they saw, and they conquered. Then went on their mystic jedi way.
Until today. Today, the Mastah called *MY* name. My real name. My given name. EIGHT FREAKIKNG TIMES. Not that, I was counting or anything!
I speak of course, about Liam Neeson's new movie "Unknown" Between you and me and the interwebz, I nearly WET MY PANTS the first time he growled out "GINA!" on screen. Dev was sitting next to me and she squee'd too!
Eight times. EIGHT. Thanks to this movie, I know know what it sounds like for Qui Gon Jinn to say my name. With urgency, even. SQUEEE!
So, Jinn, SAY MY NAME! SAY IT MASTER JINN! SAY IT EIGHT TIMES! AND SMILE, BECAUSE DANDIE ALWAYS COMES WHEN THE MASTAH CALLS HER!
Now, the circle is complete. Once I was the student, now I am the the Mastah. And Liam Neeson said my name while he was busting faces and acting hawt.
I could actually die of Squee at the moment. Just sayn'

Blahhh. I'm great one day, suck the next. LOL. It seems that just by going to bed and getting up changes intrinsically who I am as an adjuster, LOL.
it's draining.
::sighs::
I need horsie time, and collie time. And starbucks time.
Maybe all three together. yay.
Maybe the adjusting gods will favor me tomorrow and I will be the unsucky me! ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERONE!!
How was everyone's New Year's Eve?
Mine was nice. My parents came over and we had champagne and watched the show from time square. Is it evil that I thought The Back Street Boys and New Kids on the Block looked RIDICULOUS dancing and singing like they were still 15?
And Kesha, omg, what a smoking, dripping slut! She looked totally stoned. Don't tell me she wasn't! I was a kid in the seventies. All my friend's older sister's had that dazed look on their faces a lot of the time, LOL! OMG, she was so gross. The sad thing is, she is someone's little girl. Once upon a time she wore disney princess pj's and played with baby dolls and lit up her parent's life. Now she's a stoned sleeze making a fool of herself on New Year's Rockin' Eve w/Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark.
I feel badly for her parents, I really do.
I was at work on New Year's Eve during the day and I realized (being slow on the uptake) that when my parents got to my house they were probably expecting some sort of New Year's party! LOL. Yeah, I know, but it's me, not the sharpest dandelion in the meadow I'm afraid.
So I'm sitting there, with little dandelion puffs floating around my head thinking how cool it was to get out early and go home and relax...When it occurred to me...OMG, When my dad suggested they come over New Year's Eve and stay over....wait for it...They were expecting a PARTY! LOL. Wow, snuck up on me too, that concept did.
So I went home, ordered pizza and we did have a bottle of korbel champagne and my mom brought her amazing deviled eggs. So we had a laid back but fun time.
Today I'm cooking, as per usual. Roast pork, baked potatoes and a veggie to be named later. It was to be zuchinni, but my daughter forgot to tell my parents to bring it. So we'll have to go with somethign I've got in the house. Which will be either green beans or broccoli, depending.
Apple pie and ice cream for dessert.
I'm so thrilling, aren't I? LOL
***********
In other news, a guy made me cry at work the other day. He called in and screamed and screamed and screamed at me about his vehicle claim, and would not stop verbally abusing me. I mean, I worked with people who were actively hallucinating when I was working in mental health, and then I worked with attorney's for years, and they are very verbally abusive, and even I started crying at this guy.
::Sighs::
Mean people suck.
**********
So there was a show on today about the 10 best left handed quarter backs of all time. And do you know who was #1 on the list? Do you? Do you? Well, I'll tell you....
STEVE YOUNG!!!!
SQUEEEE!!!
OH, I loved him! He was my TV boyfriend for YEARS until I met Qui Gon Jinn. Honestly, that QB and I were together a long ass time until that QG came and stole me away! I saw TPM and said "good bye steve! I'm leaving you for that Jedi man"
So there's been Chow Yun Fat, Matt Fox and a brief (very brief) flirtation with Christian Bale since then, but still and all QGJ/Liam Neeson still sits on the throne of DandieLand.
But Steve Young was pretty. And built, and smart (has a JD) and wealthy (grew up in Greenwich, CT, not all that far from where I grew up in NY, but just about THE FANCIEST PLACE ON EARTH) and a total tuff guy competitor, physical, gutsy player. Hawt. MY afraid my forgotten how bombad Stevie was.
Only a Jedi Mastah could have stolen me away, LOL I crack me up.
So things are as per usual around here. It took longer than I thought for work to start making me cry again. many years ago when I worked at the Law Firm I cried a lot. It's taken over a year and a half for someone to make me cry now.
Eveyone have a great New Year's Day. Eat well. Tell your family you love them!
Luff to you all!!!
Good Queen Wishpuff
